SaskTel is being urged to remove pay phones from an inner city neighbourhood in Regina amid accusations that they're facilitating drug dealing and prostitution.

Glen Trafford, who represents the Core Community Association, said he believes the most effective single change to improve the area would be to get rid of these phones.

Trafford added the association doesn't want to cut off people who don't have phones at home.

"But we believe six phones on a single corner only leads to trouble," he said.
