Search across Sussex for best use of redundant red telephone box

At the end of 2016, the Sussex Heritage Trust, in conjunction with Sussex Association of Local Councils (SALC) and the South Downs National Park Authority launched a campaign to save the Sussex Red phone box.

The red K6 public telephone boxes, much-loved and iconic features of the British landscape, have increasingly been under threat from the development of mobile technology, neglect and vandalism.

The Trust has produced a guide which provides support to communities planning to preserve their K6 telephone boxes and change its use.

Today, the SALC have offered an award to a town or parish council which, in the opinion of SALC’s judging panel, has provided support for the most imaginative use of a redundant K6 box within its area anywhere in Sussex.

The award will be in the form of a Certificate and £300 worth of SALC vouchers which can be used for training or other SALC services not covered by their normal subscription.

A presentation will be made in the autumn.

Application should be made by letter with a brief description and photographs, to be received by the SALC office by July 31 to [email protected]
