Full list of threatened telephone boxes

Re-reading my post on the Public telephones in Copeland council involved in a consultation on proposed closures, I noticed today that it appears to give 23 locations and there are in fact 25 boxes proposed for closure.

The explanation of this is that there are two phone boxes threatened in Silecroft, and the manner in which I worded my previous post may not have made clear that there are seperate proposals to close boxes in the Millom area at both The Green and The Hill. The full list of locations and postcodes for the Telephone boxes in Copeland which are currently the subject of a consultation on proposed closure is:

Bankend View, Bigrigg CA22 2TH
Bridge End, Broad Oak, Ravenglass CA18 1RR
Cliff Road, Whitehaven CA28 8SD
Corney LA19 5TW
Cross Gates, Lamplugh CA14 4TU
Dent View, Egremont CA22 2ET
Ennerdale CA23 3AR
The Green, near Millom, LA18 5HJ
The Hill, Millom LA18 5HB.
Haile, Egremont CA22 2PD
Hinnings Road, Distington CA14 5UR
Holmrook CA19 1YG
Lamplugh CA14 4SF
Main Street, Frizington CA26 3SB
Monk Moors, Eskmeals LA19 5TW
Overend Road, Whitehaven CA28 8SD
Parkside Road, Cleator Moor CA25 5HE
Scalegill Road, Moor Row CA24 3JN

Silecroft LA18 5LR
The Square, Parton CA28 6NZ

If you consider that any of these are needed as an emergency service, particularly if mobile phones do not work in the vicinity, then please respond to the consultation either by writing direct to BT or through Copeland Council.

Deadline for the consultation is 6th September. Any comments received by Copeland council before 22nd August will be included in the council response, or you can respond to the consultation directly by writing to BT.

Nick Herbert on his visit to flood hit areas of Cumbria

Please note that the post below was published more than ten year ago on 21st November 2009 Nick Herbert MP, shadow cabinet member for the Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, was in Cumbria this morning to see the areas affected by the flooding. He writes on Conservative Home about his visit. Here is an extract. I’ve been in Cumbria today to see the areas affected by the floods. I arrived early in Keswick where I met officials from the Environment Agency. Although the river levels had fallen considerably and homes were no longer flooded, the damage to homes had been done. And the water which had got into houses wasn’t just from the river – it was foul water which had risen from the drains. I talked to fire crews who were pumping flood water back into the river, and discovered that they were from Tyne & Wear and Lancashire. They had been called in at an hours’ notice and had been working on the scene ever since, staying at a local hotel. You cannot fail to be impressed by the...

Quotes of the day 19th August 2020

"Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise."  ( Cato the Elder , who lived 234 BC - 149 BC, quoted in "Lives" by Plutarch.) There is a similar saying by Germany's Iron Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck: Benjamin Franklin is supposed to have put the same saying in a more humorous form: "Wise men profit by the mistakes of others, while fools will not learn even from their own blunders." See also this thread on the "Quote Investigator" website . Let us all be wise and learn from the events of the last few days.

Quote of the day 24th July 2020

I was moved to put the passage below forward as a quote today when I saw a horrible post on twitter from someone writing that it was "excellent" that someone who took a different view from her about Brexit had died. I won't write which way round it was so that all the Remain supporters can assume the post was from a Brexit fanatic welcoming the death of a remainer and all the Leavers can assume it was a Remainiac welcoming one less Brexiteer. There's been plenty of nasty stuff on both sides but if you catch anyone of your own viewpoint  posting something like that who might listen to you, please do call them out on it - and point out that they're giving everyone on your side of the argument a bad name. Anyway, here's the quote from John Donne.
