The telephone equipment has been removed from the kiosks, leaving them empty at this present time. The telephone kiosks appear structurally sound and Ripon city council have resolved to restore these to allow them to be used for the benefit of the community, in partnership with other community organisations. All the telephone kiosks are registered with Historic England and have a Grade II listing, therefore it will be vital that any restoration is complete using compliant materials and ensuring it does not erode their special interest.
