It is good news that Rye has not allowed some of its telephone kiosks to be consigned to oblivion.
The Winchelsea Conservation society has pushed BT to maintain a working phone box in the village with help from a very supportive resident who lives next door to the phone box.
It is worth remembering that the mayor of Winchelsea 30 or more years ago, put a stop to BT’s ideas of removing the phone box.
We hope that with an upgrade of the internal workings of the phone, a new light, and new paint, the kiosk will continue to offer a service to the community here for another 30 years.
