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]
