Hi, I am associated without local community rate payer's association, and have been tasked with sorting the removal of a now unwanted and rarely used phone booth.

 

 

 

This is parked outside our local 4Square and most interactions with it seems to be vandalism rather than making important phone calls. It does sport a Ruckus WiFi AP, but a survey of locals say they prefer to use the foodstuffs guest wifi and most have no idea about the Spark service although if Spark mobile customers they probably connect without knowing.

 

 

 

Regardless the real-estate the booth takes is no longer what the community wants and they have other plans for that real-estate, so have asked it is removed.

 

 

 

Can anyone point me in the direction of how to go about setting the removal in action.

 

 

 

Any suggestions appreciated.

 

 

 

Cheers

 

Cyril

If you flick me your contact information in a private message along with details of the payphone in question (location etc), I am happy to pass your message on to the right people at Spark and request that they make contact with you.

 

Is the payphone currently functional? If it's in a state of disrepair or has been vandalised, a photo of it would also help.

 

While what you seek may seem simple on the face of it, there are a number of factors that need to be considered. I can't really elaborate as it's not my place to do so, and I can't guarantee they will reach out to you (or grant your wish), but I can ask the question.

 

[Edit: Where a town redevelopment is planned than involves streetscape upgrades, it would normally fall under the remit of the local council to contact Spark regarding payphone relocation/removal]

 

Thanks, Simon @ Chorus
