Save the red phone boxes! ... ?

Apparently the use of telephone boxes has halved in the last two years.
It looks like their days are numbered unless the plan of transforming them into ATMs goes ahead. 

Although I am not a big user I quite like having them around - somehow I think England would look less English without them. But perhaps I am just nostalgic!
