Telephone Box Refurbishment ;-
Provision of a local hub for community-suggested projects eg. book swap, plant sales, art gallery, local information leaflet availability, environmental awareness pamphlets and other village ideas!
The old BT telephone box which BT have agreed to "sell" to 'Sustainable West Linton and District' Charity for community use, needs de-commissioning and safeguarding with suitable lighting and electrical supply. Originally lead-painted, the box needs refurbished and re-painted. We have not yet obtained estimates for the work required so our request value is subjective at the moment. Volunteers will cover general unskilled work.
We have informally canvassed village opinion on how best to utilise the phone box and many practical ideas have been suggested on Facebook (search sustainable west linton and district). We know the community value the phonebox iconic symbol and would support it's regeneration for community use. To have a focal point for sharing goods and information must help villagers to interact and promote social welfare.
