It is up to the local community to complain to the council and they will prevent BT from removing it's kiosks. BT first display a notice in each kiosk they want to remove, they let councils and community to decide whether or not the kiosk is necessary. If the council recieves a number of complaints, then BT will not remove it!
With regards to the Interphone kiosks, NWP has no connection with Interphone, however NWP did purchase a lot of their kiosks within the London area and glasgow areas. Interphone kiosks are usaully bright orange coloured.If it is black or red and yellow, then it may be operated by NWP Spectrum.
Which area do you live and where is the interphone kiosk located as I will contact the company who may own this kiosk. Infolines currently operate 187 kiosks throughout the UK (Not London) and many were either sold to NWP or gone into liquidation.
Remember, companies other BT can remove kiosks when they want to and nobody has the power to stop the companies installing or removing kiosks. However,when companies go bankrupt or the companies place certain assets into liquidation, then the councils will have to remove and decommision disused kiosks.

Oh, and m419, in our town (which is by no means small), in the last 10 years, we have gone from 10 BT phone boxes and two interphone ones to one BT phone box and one (very badly damaged) NWP one. I cannot believe the local authority would have asked for all those payphones to be removed.
