☎️ BT plan to remove our payphone on West Moulin Road PH16 5ER - at the junction with East Moulin Road.

Representations can be made ending August 13th 2026.

BT are proposing to remove 1 public payphone(s) in our area due to declining usage. These have been assessed using the criteria set out in Ofcom’s review of the Telephony Universal Service Obligation. Under the terms set by this review, they’re obliged to notify the relevant public body (as defined on page 29).

To make sure the local community is fully informed, they’ve placed notices (below) (including the posting date) on these payphones.

Please Note – relevant public bodies are responsible for ensuring they submit any representations regarding this proposal before the proposal period ends.

🌟 Adoption Opportunity 🌟
Most red kiosks can be adopted by local councils, registered charities and private landowners for just £1, transforming them into defibrillator stations, mini-libraries or other creative ventures. They can also adopt modern glass boxes if they want to house a defibrillator. More information is available at bt.com/adopt.

👉 Would we like to adopt this one - comment with a YES or like this post before 30th June so we can secure our iconic red payphone for our community 👍

⛔️ Northbound Slip Road Closures ⛔️

Bear Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland.

👉 The slip road will be closed from week commencing the 15th June 2026. Work will start as soon as the slip road is closed.

The slip road needs to be closed for the duration of the works since there is insufficient room on the site to accommodate the plant and materials necessary for the works, allow safe access for farmers to care for their livestock and keep a lane of traffic running safely. Moving plant and materials out of the way overnight or over weekends is not possible in the narrow timeframe Bear Scotland have to complete the works 🏗️

The work needs to be completed through the summer months to avoid environmental damage to the river and its aquatic life. This is a permit requirement from Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) and is required to comply with environmental legislation.

Bear Scotland have erected variable message signage on the . Once the slip road is closed, these signs will advise access to is possible from the North Junction. This is in addition to the standard diversion route signage.

Meetings have been held between Bear Scotland, Perth and Kinross Council and Police Scotland about the traffic management arrangements. PKC have confirmed they will monitor the situation and decide if mitigation measures are necessary on Atholl Road due to the increase in traffic volumes. Traffic counters are in place on various routes into , with continued monitoring. This will help quantify the change in traffic volumes and advise where further mitigation is necessary.

Variable message signs will be used to promote access to Pitlochry from the North via the signed diversion route.

⚠️ We strongly encourage our community to follow the official diversion route to help ensure the safety of all road users ⚠️
