Phone boxes in towns and villages in South East Cornwall are under threat.

Many of the 180 kiosks on a Cornwall-wide list have had no calls made from them in the past 12 months.

Traditional red phone boxes and newer models could be removed by BT. A consultation will run until November 16.

Cornwall Council has to give its permission for the removal of any public payphone where there is no other box within 400 metres.

Phone boxes in the district which could be removed include: Couchs Mill, Lostwithiel, number of calls made in the last year according to information provided to Cornwall Council by BT, 4; Cott Road, Lostwithiel, 2; Lanreath, 55; Horningtops, 3; Widegates, 2; Playing Field Terrace, Duloe, 5; Lansallos, 0; Talland View, Killigarth, 0; Crumplehorn, Polperro, no figure available; A30 rest area, Lewannick, 0; Herodsfoot, 4; Trevelmond, 0; Trevecca Cottages, Liskeard, 58; Merrymeet, 2; Common Moor, 5; Crow’s Nest, 3; Stephen’s Road, Liskeard, 9; The Glebe, St Mellion, 5; Rilla Mill, 58; Henwood, 0; Minions, 11; Upton Cross, 23; Bray Shop, 2; Village Green, Stoke Climsland, 8; Highertown, Stoke Climsland, 0; Higher Downgate, 0; Luckett, 0; Bowling Green, Callington, 0; Golberdon, 0; Station Road, Kelly Bray, 27; Harbour Road, Par, 2; Landreath Place, St Blazey, 64; Station Road, St Blazey, 449; Middleway Street, St Blazey, 9; Park Road, Fowey, 72; King Street, Millbrook, 89; Mulberry Road, Saltash, 109; Fore Street, Landrake, 14; and Delaware Road, Gunnislake, 45.
