Loss of Banking Facilities in Wandsworth
The article on this site says the future of the High Street branch is 'uncertain'. It isn't. When the banks say they are considered closures it means they have already made their mind up.
With NatWest going last year this means there are far fewer places for people to do face to face banking. Older generations in particular do not want to do online banking because they hear so many horror stories of what can happen when things go wrong.
The loss of ATMs also means it is much harder now to get ready cash in the centre of Wandsworth which has to be more bad news for local businesses there.
We gave billions of pounds to support the banks during the financial crisis. Isn't it time they returned the favour by considering the community impact of their decisions not just the bottom line?
