An Argyll community mistakenly believed the payphone was out of service and available for other uses.
Items from a community book swapping service in Argyll have been stripped out of a phone box and dumped.
Previous members of the council had mistakenly believed the phone box had been purchased from BT for a token fee of £1, and books have been left in the kiosk for the last six years.There is a notice inside the kiosk from August 2016 that says BT was consulting on the removal of the payphone due to the low usage.
Community council secretary Sue Burden said: "We would fully respect it that it is their property - it is just the way the donated items were dumped. People are upset about that."Residents of Kilmore believed the box had been in community ownership since 2016 The company said the books and shelves had to be removed from the Kilmore kiosk so service panels could be accessed.
