IT'S a great shame that there are demands to have a Breightmet phone-box removed because of hoax fire calls made from it.
This action penalises innocent people - especially the elderly - but is entirely understandable because of the number of calls made from the box in Blenheim Road.
Putting the hoax messages on The Bolton News' website for the public to identify and CCTV at the site might help.
Unfortunately, it is vital that parents know where their children are and what they are doing. And that both the child and parent is held accountable for this kind of dangerous stupidity.
