■ The saga of phone boxes in Spean continues to keep the community council busy. Over a year ago the red kiosk at the bridge was condemned as a traffic hazard - it took 40 years for that to be announced. It was decreed two new phone boxes were be located in the village. These were duly sited and sighted, but haven’t been operational for a year.
Meanwhile the red box at the bridge continued to serve its purpose – while the two new kiosks had rope tied round them. At last the new ones are operational – but there’s no light in them. Where is there a ‘lit-up’ phone box? In the original red kiosk – but the telephone has been taken out of it. They’re not seeing the light in the public phonebox in Roy Bridge, either.
