Preston decides future of BT’s controversial new kit on the block – hi-tech street hubs across the city
The authority, which has been fighting the spread of illuminated digital advertising screens in parts of the city - including so-called Trojan horse phone boxes - will benefit from the BT Street Hubs by way of free information displays.and there has been opposition in Norwich, Oxford and Plymouth.
The company has not said yet which other sites it will target in the city centre, although there are old telephone boxes in various locations around the city including two in Friargate and one in Church Street. "It should be noted that these proposals for the installation of a number of Street Hubs will see with it the removal of existing, outdated and worn-down BT payphones.”
