Decision details

BT have advised NYC that they intend to remove some last at site payphones and kiosks within North Yorkshire. BT have placed 90 day Notices in 41 payphone kiosks across the authority. The Council has the opportunity to consider these payphones and kiosks and either to support BT with the removal or object to the removal.

Approve the North Yorkshire Council response on BT payphones May 2025 with the additional information attached.

To ensure that North Yorkshire Council and its communities provide a timely response to BT for their decision.

The alternative option is to not respond to this current “last at site” BT payphone removal. This would not be in the public interest as the community are not informed and as such are not given the opportunity to be involved, respond and potentially adopt a kiosk for another use should BT continue to remove the payphone based on no further evidence provided.
