BT has told Bath & North East Somerset Council it plans to remove six public payphones in the district, including three in Bath, at Sion Hill, Lansdown Road and Bathwick Hill.
The others are at Bristol Road in Keynsham, Wells Road at Westfield, and Lower Road at Hinton Blewett.
The payphones are not used enough to carry on running them, says BT, which plans to remove the telephony and lock the kiosks.
Notices will be placed on the payphones to make sure that the local communities are fully informed of the proposals.
The deadline for consultation ends on 25th May.
Communities can ‘adopt’ phone boxes to turn them into something completely different.
Thousands of boxes have been reinvented as cafes, mini-libraries, and defibrillator sites.
Communities can adopt most red boxes for just £1. They can also adopt modern glass boxes to house a defibrillator.
