> Almost 150,000 calls were made to emergency services from phone boxes in the year to May 2020, while 25,000 calls were made to Childline and 20,000 to Samaritans. Of course, there’s no way to know which of the boxes that are about to close _would_ have been used to make a call to childline if only it hadn’t been disconnected. Fuck how much it costs to maintain these, just keep them open.
