More than a dozen new digital street hubs are to be installed across Liverpool to replace the city’s old phone boxes.
This summer, BT Communications confirmed they were moving to replace some of the dated and unused phone boxes in the city centre with upgraded digital hubs that will offer free Wi-Fi and calls. Now, a series of planning applications have been lodged with Liverpool Council to expand the scheme outside of L1.
The new hubs would replace dozens of existing phone boxes, which in its application letter BT said would “declutter street scenes” and free up more pedestrian space. Sites identified as part of the wider roll-out include Edge Lane, St Michaels, Mossley Hill, Aigburth Road, Smithdown Road, Picton, Earlsfield Road, West Derby Road and Prescot Road.
