TWO phone boxes are set to be removed after BT said they ‘just aren’t used enough’.
A red phone box in Dale’s Drive, Colehill, and a more modern unit outside the Memorial Hall in Verwood, are set to go.
Planning applications to approve their removal have been submitted to Dorset Council.

A notice submitted alongside the plans said: “We’re planning to remove this payphone.
“Unfortunately, it just isn’t used enough for us to carry on running it.”
