Troon’s Bank of Scotland Branch Closure

Lodged by Sharon Dowey Standard Motion 23 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes the announcement by Lloyds Banking Group regarding the closure of its Troon Bank of Scotland branch; further notes that Troon is set to lose its last remaining bank, upon which, it understands, many of Troon’s residents rely in terms of queries and in-person transactions; understands that Troon’s branch is one of 19 branches in Scotland that are reportedly being closed by the parent company Lloyds Banking Group; recognises what it sees as the devastating impact that bank branch closures have on local communities, where they play an essential role; considers that any closure will have a significant impact on local residents; understands the growing demand for online banking across the country, which, it believes, inevitably results in fewer customers and in the closing of branches; further understands that the Troon Bank of Scotland branch is set to close on 21 September 2022; considers that this is terrible news for the Troon community, and particularly the staff of the branch, and wishes them all the best for the future.
