iansheff Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Just been reading the article below from todays Mirror, Natwest are to close 197 branches by the middle of next year costing 680 jobs. What about all the people that are not able to use Internet banking, particularly the elderly what will they do when their local branch closes. Five of those closures are in Sheffield. Broomhill FirthPark Hillsborough Millhouses Woodseats Plus Stocksbridge and Peniistone. http://www.mirror.co.uk/money/astonishing-197-natwest-62-rbs-11618534 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMR67 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 It was only a matter of time until my branch (Firth Park) closed down. It has already stopped opening on a Wednesday and Saturday. This comes after the Yorkshire Bank 2 doors down closed in the Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joker Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Five of those closures are in Sheffield. .. FirthPark .. No great loss to the much sought-after village of Firth Park. I only used their cash machine occasionally, and since Heron Foods opened with an instore ATM, I use it even less. One more greedy bank closes, proof that Capitalism is on its last legs Up the workers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Is this part of the drive for a 'cashless Society?' Beware. Or are the greedy banks short of money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooker147 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I wonder what the Millhouses branch will be turned into? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penistone999 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I wonder what the Millhouses branch will be turned into? Apartments probably , plenty of profit for developers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
