Phone boxes in North West Norfolk looking to be adopted

How do you fancy adopting an iconic red phone box in North West Norfolk?

The telephone boxes available are:

Bagthorpe- Main Road Docking Village Hall

Burnham Overy Staithe- Junction of the Creek & Tower Road Burnham Market Parish Council Burnham Overy Staithe

The Adopt a Kiosk scheme enables your community to retain its iconic red kiosk. It is open to the following bodies:

Recognised local authority (e.g. District/Borough Council)

Parish/Community/Town Council or equivalent

Registered charity

Private land owner. (Anyone who has one of our telephone boxes on their land)

Martin Fagan, Secretary of the Community Heartbeat Trust, which has installed defibrillators in disused phone boxes across the country said:

"With something as serious as a cardiac arrest, time is of the essence. Unfortunately, ambulance services often can’t reach country villages in time.

"To install defibrillators in disused phone boxes is ideal, as they’re often in the centre of the village. And it means the iconic red kiosk can remain a lifeline for the community."
