Telephone Box
You may know that Dyserth Community Council adopted the old red telephone box on Cwm Road many years ago and since then many residents have enjoyed picking up a free book or donating some for others. Our very own ‘Telephone Library’ in fact. Thanks must go to those individuals who visit to tidy up, including a couple of our community councillors. Another of these telephone boxes, on Trecastell hill on the way out of Dyserth has long since been adopted by Dyserth Environmental Group and is kept as an information point, with many interesting local points of interest available.
Recently the telephone box just off the High Street, behind the Bodunig pub was going to be disposed of by BT. Many remember queuing up there with their coins to make a call, way before the advent of mobile phones and even before most locals even had a phone in their house. Dyserth Community council have again stepped in to adopt this and want to know your opinions on how it should be used.
There are many uses of these boxes up and down the country. Some used for lifesaving equipment (which we are fortunate enough to already have close by outside the chemist).
One suggestion has been to use Trelawnyd’s idea of donating various items that others might use and value, as you can see from these photos. Please reply to the Clerk to Dyserth Community Council - clerk@dyserthcouncil.wales to share your thoughts and ideas. The community council want to make this work for you.
