    A complex sub-letting scheme appears to be giving some hope that the two
    vandalised derelict phone kiosks outside the town hall in Southport are
    going to get renovated to be let-out to entrepreneurs.



    Red Kiosk, who took on the phone boxes from BT . . . .

    http://www.redkioskcompany.co.uk/

    and presided over their recent rapid decline are now planning to let the
    kiosks out to Pod Works

    http://www.podworks.global/

    who in turn hope to make money out of them.

    Councillor Tony Dawson, who drew the council's attention to the state of
    these kiosks in early November, says:

    "If this does indeed happen it will be great news. The owners of these
    kiosks should never have allowed them to deteriorate like this since they
    are Grade 2 listed buildings. Likewise, Sefton Council has a responsibility
    to make sure owners of listed buildings keep them in reasonable condition
    which clearly hasn't happened here, right under their noses."

    "I just hope that someone with 'clout' will keep an eye on the kiosks one
    they have been spruced up. Otherwise, history will simply repeat itself."

    They're still at it.... the other site has Cllr Barton taking credit for negotiations with the owner on the restoration, I'm sure Cllr Dawson will respond soon!

    He's probably right however in saying:

    "This goes to show that, rather than threatening legal action and the full force of the local authority to try and get things done, mutual respect and sincerity are key to driving further future inward investment into Southport."

    Doesn't seem to be Cllr Dawson's approach in "calling for" or complaining to the council as after all it's us versus Bootle!

    Pod Works did however say they're plannning to open in southport in a press release on 6th September though so hard really to make out a clear sequence of events in what's dominated our council electives time of late. As although still advertised Pod Works probably had some confidence in it if doing press releases.

    All good sport however in the race to the bottom

    Heartily sick of watching councillors Dawson and Barton striving for publicity and brownie points. Hope to see both of them defeated at the next election.
    In the meantime surely they can put their petty squabbles aside and together do something that would really benefit the town.
    I suggest resignation........

    Has anyone told Bob Geldolf?

    Simple cheap `n cheerful solution; just lever these two antiquated pissoirs off their plinths and chuck them on the back of the scrap van.
