BRITISH Telecom are scrapping the cash payment facility from 14 public payphones in the Chilterns to help prevent theft and vandalism.
The company have chosen the payphones as they have been hit by ongoing attacks and hope that by making them cashless the maintenance costs they incur because of these will be lowered.
A LANDSLIDE victory saw Great Missenden residents vote in Michael Colston for his second consecutive term as their representative on Bucks County Council.
Mr Colston (Con), 70, and father-of-two, won with 2,052 votes to Brenda Barker (Lib Dem) with 651 votes, Dennis Sluman (UKIP) with 320 votes, and Barbara Hunter (Lab) with 125 votes.
He was elected onto Great Missenden Parish Council in 2001, has lived in the village for 18 years, and has been serving as BCC cabinet member for Adult Social Care.
