3.0 DETAIL & BACKGROUND 3.1 This brief report is to bring to the attention of the members of this committee a BT consultation on Public Call Boxes (PCB’s). 3.2 This consultation is the proposal to remove 74 PCB’s in various locations across Argyll and Bute. As part communities are being asked if they would like to adopt a kiosk for another purpose, agree to its removal or object to its removal, which they can do by contacting the council’s planning department. 3.3 Full list of PCB’s in the consultation can be found in appendix 1 3.4 Communication sent to impacted Community Councils can be found in appendix 2 3.5 Before BT can remove PCB’s Ofcom have stated that a notice must be clearly visible in a Kiosk that they are planning to remove for a minimum of 90 days. 3.6 Additionally the Council’s Planning Department has the ability to block any such removal. However, there must be a valid reason to block the removal unlike the previous local Veto 3.7 As the use of PCB’s has declined significantly over the years BT are looking to rationalise their network of Public Payphones. 3.8 Several years ago BT undertook a previous rationalisation programme which resulted in the removal of numerous PCB’s, however Ofcom stepped in and said that the criteria BT were using was not adequate and did not consider the lack of mobile coverage particularly in rural areas. 3.9 With regards to the criteria changes that Ofcom made for a PCB removal, they have also changed to criteria which a council can object to a PCB removal. 3.10 In identifying the relevant criteria against which ‘Protected PCBs’ would be assessed, Ofcom took account of the reasonable needs of PCB users and proposed that BT and would not be able to remove a PCB where it met any of the following criteria: • does not have coverage from all four mobile network providers; • is sited at an accident or suicide hotspot; • has made 52 or more calls over the past 12 months; or • there is a relevant exceptional circumstance which means the PCB is needed. 3.11 We circulated a communication to 24 impacted local Community Councils highlighting that PCB’s in their area were under review. We have currently had a response from a few of them indicating a mixture of all 3 options. Several wishing to adopt a kiosk for an alternative use. Some have highlighted that although the payphone hadn’t been used, they think it should stay for resilience

purposes. 3.12 Having spoken to BT they are unclear how this resilience justification for retention would be taken. As the whole point of exercise was to remove kiosks that are not used. 4.0 IMPLICATIONS 4.1 Policy: n/a 4.2 Financial: n/a 4.3 Legal: n/a 4.4 HR: n/a 4.5 Customer Service: n/a 4.6 Risk: n/a 4.7 Climate Change: Potential loss of storm resilience 4.8 Fairer Scotland Duty: n/a 4.9 Equalities – Protected Characteristics: n/a 4.10 Socio-economic Duty: Loss of communication method of disadvantaged individuals 4.11 Island Communities: Potential loss of storm resilience/ potential alternative use case of current obsolete infrastructure. 4.9 The Rights of the Child (UNCRC): Potential loss of emergency communication method.

Appendix 2 Sandbank Community Council Hello, we hope this email finds you well. We hate to burden you; however, this is a very time sensitive issue as we need to get this in front of committee before the summer recess. I request that you get a response back to iain.macinnes@argyll-bute.gov.uk by the end of this week Sunday 25th May. We are writing to pass on important information regarding the disconnection of public telephone boxes within your area (specific boxes are listed at the end of the email). BT has confirmed that 73 Public payphones across Argyll and Bute are no longer needed. These payphones should have a notice of this posted in them. Communities that wish to adopt a decommissioned red box can do so at the cost of £1. So far, these boxes have been reinvented as Cafes, mini-libraries and even defibrillator sites. The more modern glass kiosks can also be adopted. More information on adoption can be found here: bt.com/adopt BT also state that representations can be made to them until the 12th of August 2025. They will take account of representations made about their plans when making their final decision. They should also write back with the reasons for their decision (These will also be published on: www.bt.com/payphones/service). If one of the boxes on your list is highlighted in red, this means that it is Listed, and the kiosk will not be removed. The telephony equipment will be removed, and the kiosk will be locked. Some boxes on your list may be highlighted in blue. This means it is within Loch Lomond and the Trossachs planning area, and they will need to be liaised with regarding these boxes. Please let us know if you have any questions, concerns, objections or representations and we will be happy to work with you in any way we can. The boxes in your area are as follows: - PCO PCO1 SANDHAVEN SANDBANK DUNOON PA23 8QW Callbox ID: 01369703190 - PCO1 ROBERTSON TERRACE SANDBANK DUNOON PA23 8PT Callbox ID: 01369704431 Kind regards, Iain MacInnes - Strategic Transportation Policy Officer Luke Horner - Digital Project Support Officer Ardrishaig Community Council Hello, we hope this email finds you well.
