I generally find they do get repaired (eventually) but it's a huge dereliction of their responsibility to neighbourhoods that contribute thousands of pounds to their bottom line.

I often report missing and damaged phone cabinet doors in my ward. I asked a Virgin Media engineer who was repairing a cabinet. He said they were getting both doors and cables stolen. Can I suggest that, initially, residents report the damage to the phone company. And then contact their councillor if they get no response.
