The photograph, taken today shows that the telephone from the telephone box in Broadwindsor’s square has now been removed. This indicates that the legalities of the Parish Council adopting it may have concluded. Consequently, many books which were on top of the telephonehave now been piled on the floor which is not suitable due to the damp conditions.
The number of books has increased too. It is meant to be serving as a Book Exchange and not a place for a carrier bag or bundle of books to be left, particularly if there is clearly no room to accommodate them at this time. Once the legalities are final, the Parish Council do intend to renovate the telephone box – which may involve putting up shelves for books as the book exchange does seem to be working well. It is not an item on the Parish Council’s agenda this Monday – which is extensive already – but please help keep it tidy 🙂
To celebrate World Book Day, and the incredulous date which will never occur again, Broadwindsor.org produced over three dozen memorable bookmarks for the children who use or accompany their parents to the telephone box.
Apologies as they were a day late due to technical problems!
