Phone boxes to be removed

Telecom Eireann is planning to remove the pair of phone boxes outside Steve’s Daybreak shop across from CPC.



It is part of a national programme in which 40 percent of all Telecom public phone boxes are being removed. A notice on the boxes says they will be removed in mid-March.

Interested parties are invited to submit their views on the proposal before 16 March.

The contact is S Culbert at Eircom’s regional HQ in Tycor, Waterford City.

His phone number is 051 873266, or email him at sculbert@eircom.ie

The nearest street payphone after they are removed will be on Main Street, Newbridge.

The phone baxes have been a constant target of vandals through the years.
