Ryde is set to welcome a classic red BT telephone box to Lind Street – but with a twist!

Iconic Kiosk Gets a New Lease of Life

This bright red, vintage-style phone box is more than just a blast from the past. Town officials want to transform it into a buzzing community hub that locals and visitors will love.

Your Brilliant Ideas Wanted!

As a listed building, the kiosk must stay in its original size and style. Plus, plans must respect nearby homes. But that hasn’t stopped the council from dreaming big.

If you’ve got a creative idea to repurpose this iconic box, now’s the time to speak up. Whether it’s a mini library, information point, or quirky café pop-up, they want to hear from you!
