High street bank closures

Tabled by Cameron Thomas (Independent) 24 signatures

The motion

That this House registers its concern that Lloyds Banking Group plans to close 95 local branches this year, including in Tewkesbury; acknowledges the value of high street banks to local communities, particularly the elderly and those without easy access to public transport; recognises the harm bank closures have on rural communities and small towns, where they may be the only in-person banking facilities available within a reasonable distance; and calls on the Government to increase support for community banking hubs and protect access to cash in rural areas.
