A proposal to remove three "tired-looking" telephone boxes and install a new one is among the planning applications submitted to Watford, Three Rivers, Hertsmere and Dacorum councils.

New World Payphones has applied to Watford Borough Council to remove the kiosks outside 99 The Parade and 58 and 84 High Street and install a new one outside 75 The Parade.

A planning, design and heritage statement with the application states: "This application is part of an on-going strategy for the rationalisation and upgrade of the estate in Watford, aiming to reduce the overall number of kiosks (thus improving the public realm) whilst installing new telecommunications infrastructure which better meets the needs of society – as desired by national policy."

It adds: "The existing kiosks, which date back to the 1990’s, are tired-looking structures and outmoded in terms of their telephony equipment. This kiosk type has also experienced historic problems including anti-social behaviour and lack of access for people with mobility impairments. These factors notwithstanding, the kiosks are in use, with most calls made to mobile and 0800 numbers, including the emergency services."

Scroll down our extensive list below for those applications validated by Watford, Three Rivers and Dacorum councils in the week beginning June 12, plus those related to Aldenham, Bushey, Radlett and Watford submitted to Hertsmere Borough Councils in the week ending June 9.
