Red Telephone Boxes
BT want to remove all red telephone boxes,
but are giving Councils the opportunity to buy them or sponsor them.
Leigh-on-Sea Town Council has decided to sponsor the phone box in Old Leigh, near Ye Olde Smack.
This means it will operate as a telephone for the future, and its existence will be guaranteed, maintaining part of the charm and character of Old Leigh while still providing a useful service

Leigh-on-Sea - A Quality Council!
Leigh-on-Sea Town Council is proud to announce that it has achieved 'Quality Status'. This means that the level of service provided by the Council has reached the level required of a quality council, from both the councillors and the administration.
We are justifiably proud of this achievement, as there are only 345 quality councils in the whole country out of about 9,500 parishes.
We do recognise, however, that Quality Status is not an end in itself, and we know that we must continue to act as a quality council in all our activities.
We would appreciate help from the members of the public in Leigh to highlight and identify areas of our service we can improve. Nevertheless, we have to acknowledge that there are various facets of everyday life over which we cannot exercise control: roads and pavements, schools, housing, libraries, recycling and rubbish collection are outside our control, but we may be able to have an impact on Southend Borough Council.
For the time being, we are content to be a quality council, and thank all those who have contributed towards this achievement.
