VILLAGERS have said their request to transform a disused phone box into a book exchange has been ignored by Ryedale District Council (RDC). In November 2019, Weaverthorpe Parish Council asked to adopt their phone box for £1 from BT, with the view to transforming the ‘eyesore’ into a book exchange. However, RDC objected due to the loss of a working telephone in the village. After a year of consultations, RDC has urged BT to re-glaze the call box, clean the interior and ensure that the phone is connected and in working order. Tracy Chapman, owner of Yorkshire Wolds Photography and Glamping, said Weaverthorpe residents’ felt that RDC ignored their wishes to adopt the phone box.
