NATIONWIDE BRANCH IN LLANIDLOES

That this House notes with concern the Nationwide Building Society's possible closure of its facility in Llanidloes; believes that the franchisees are willing to discuss any conditions which would ensure the continued operation of this outlet; and respectfully calls on Nationwide to negotiate with the franchisees with a view to seeking satisfactory terms for both parties such that the branch can continue to operate profitably and for the benefit of the local community.
