List the lot

Bryn Morgan spoke briefly at the council meeting on Tuesday evening about our brief and successful campaign to save the local red phone boxes. Bryn is the portfolio holder for Partnerships, Community Engagement and Enhanced Two-Tier Working (I know, a bit of a mouthful, and I've no idea how he fits it on the business card!) He spoke of the excellent work done by council officers to collate input to Waverley's response to BT, and failed (modestly) to mention his own spearheading and leadership.


What he did add, was that local councillors might wish to consider what's next? Might we adopt a phone box each perhaps? Or seek to have them listed and provide some protection from future such attempts.

Well, I had a wonderful reply from Waverley's Historic Buildings Officer, Russell Morris. We currently have ten listed in Waverley, out of a total 2000 listed in the country as a whole. I've popped the list below (an extract from the full list), and would add that if anyone's interested in helping apply for listed status for either of the two in our ward (see my map for their locations), I'd very much appreciate the help!
