My post last month ‘what happens to all the missing doors?’, on the amount of phone cabinets on our streets with missing doors, generated lots of comments. Councillors from as far away as Tottenham and Lewisham commented to say its also a problem in their area. According to the comments, the doors and cables inside are often stolen – and sometimes the doors are removed after they break and wont shut.
Today I reported these further missing phone cabinet doors on Albany Road near the junction with Mount View Road. I don’t know if you can tell from the photo, but the wires and gadgets inside are all shiny and brand new – so it seems strange that the phone or cable company would just leave it like this.
It all still seems a bit of mystery to me how these doors keep disappearing. Nobody ever seems to see it happen.
