This is indeed wonderful news, now at least the annual 'friends of SBC' xmas party can go ahead in the two red phone boxes at the Odeon, or SJT as some like to call it.

Just wait until the next inevitable vandalism attack on any of the Phone Boxes, and then wait until the box is repaired.

That'll be something to tell your great-grandchildren how you remember when they were vandalized.

Well done SBC.

When holiday makers come and find attractions closed by you they can always make a visit to a red phone box.

Is this part of the big plan SBC were going to put in place for the gypsey return next year.
Bit of a tight squeeze with all the Gypseys in a couple of telephone boxes.

Still the couincil do think they can perform miracles.

Now that the Town Hall is going to be sold off, we could do with some alternative accommodation for our esteemed leaders. My friends jackandnellie say three red boxes and a wheelie bin should cover it. Or perhaps a move to The Sands....
