BT is offering communities across Pembrokeshire the opportunity to adopt their local phone box for just £1 and turn it into something inspirational for their local area.

The county already has one of the highest rates of telephone box takeovers in Wales, with 33 phone boxes already adopted by councils and charities.

More than 400 traditional red boxes are now available for adoption across Wales. BT is encouraging community groups to seize the opportunity to do something wonderful with phone boxes that have little or no usage and will also consider adoption requests to house defibrillators in more modern boxes.

BT will continue to provide electricity, if already in place, to power the light for adopted kiosks, free of charge to communities.

Where electricity is available, adopted boxes can be used as housings for defibrillators. Other exciting new ventures include conversions to mini-libraries, miniature art museums, cake shops and information centres. One payphone in Devon was even turned into the "world's smallest nightclub".

"We're pleased to be giving even more local communities the chance to adopt a phone box," said Katherine Bradley, BT's senior payphones commercial and operations manager.

"With nearly 400 payphones now adopted across Wales, this is a fantastic opportunity for communities to own a piece of history.

"Applying is easy and quick and we're always happy to speak to communities about adopting our traditional BT red payphone boxes."

Recognised public bodies, such as parish, community or town councils can adopt a box as well as registered charities and private individuals who have a payphone on their own land.
