MP raises axed Valley telephone boxes in the Commons
RIBBLE VALLEY MP Mr Nigel Evans raised the plans by BT to scrap 25 telephone boxes in the area during an adjournment debate in the House of Commons.
Mr Evans highlighted the villages
that would be affected. “I t ’s good to talk. Well, some of us need telephone boxes to be able to talk, and they are essential in an emergency,” he told fel low MPs The ongoing issue of post office clo
sures was also raised by Mr Evans. He said: “The post office network is
vital, particularly in rural areas but also in urban parts. A couple of post offices have just closed in Clitheroe, resulting in difficult journeys for many people who want to use a post office, particularly if they are disabled. “We do not want to be saying, in 20
years time: ‘Oh gosh, if only we’d saved the post offices! How valuable they were!”’ As well as talking about speed cam
eras, Mr Evans highlighted the prob lems he saw with the plan for road tax to be based on the mileage driven. He said this would be detrimental to the Ribble Valley constituency. “The car is essential in some rural areas,” Mr Evans told the House.
