There is only one telephone box in the Parish of Hemyock and according to Parish Councillors it appears to be used regularly. BT are carrying out an economic appraisal of telephone boxes in the area with a view to remove them if they remain unused. In a bid to have it retained the council contacted BT to ask for data in support of their bid to ‘save the box’. “After several weeks no such information has been forthcoming” said Chairman Heather Stallard “which leaves us no option to lobby for its retention”.
