Should we keep our red telephone boxes?

BT is offering red Telephone boxes to Parish Councils, Town Councils or Community organisations for £1. Find out more about the scheme through this link http://www.payphones.bt.com/adopt_a_kiosk/HTML/payphone/faq.htm#8

There are lots in our villages, are they of sufficient architectural and historical importance to pay to keep them, or at least some of them? There will be implications for ongoing maintenance.
Just one link to a successful use of a box by the New Forest National Park. http://www.newforestnpa.gov.uk/news/news_release10/iconic_red_telephone_box.htm
So should Kirkburton Parish Council keep them and use the precept to maintain them, could they be maintained and run in partnership with community organisations?
