Dear Member of the Community,
East Hampshire District Council is considering asking British Telecom to remove this telephone kiosk in North Road, Horndean. Only ten freephone calls were made between February 2012 and February 2013 and the kiosk is quite damaged.
Your local District Councillor, Guy Shepherd, has looked into several options for trying to restore the kiosk but unfortunately this is not a viable option. You can contact Councillor Guy Shepherd to hear about those considerations by telephone on 023 92570856 or via email guy.shepherd@easthants.gov.uk
We welcome your views over a period of 28 days so that we can make the right decision regarding the future of this telephone kiosk. Any feedback will be taken to the Community Forum (Clanfield, Horndean and Rowlands Castle) at Merchistoun Hall, 106’ Portsmouth Road, Horndean on 8th October 2013 commencing 6.30pm. A final decision will be made at that meeting regarding whether or not East Hampshire District Council ask British Telecom to add this kiosk to their list of those to be removed.
To take part in this consultation and lodge your view, please contact the Community Safety Manager, Karen Dawes via email Karen.dawes@easthants.gov.uk or in writing to Karen Dawes, Community Safety Manager, East Hampshire District Council, Penns Place, Petersfield GU314EX before Wednesday 2nd October 2013.
Yours Faithfully – Karen Dawes
East Hampshire District Council Community Safety Manager
