BT is allowing communities to âadoptâ redundant phone boxes for a cost of just £1.
Since 2008 a total of 482 phone boxes in the UK have been adopted and transformed into everything from defibrillator units to mini history museums and book exchanges.
Communities can adopt a kiosk if they are a recognised public body, such as a community council or town council.
