I am very disappointed to hear about the announced closure of Lloyds Bank in Caterham next year.
As the last remaining bank branch serving the local community and businesses within the town, I know that this will be a real loss for many.
I have written to Lloyds to express my concerns and request further details about the decision. I have been in contact with Cash Access UK who have confirmed that they will be bringing a Banking Hub to Caterham. This will include a counter service for everyday cash transactions alongside a community banker service where customers will be able to speak face-to-face with their own bank or building society about more complicated matters.
I have asked for confirmation that this service will be open before the Lloyds Bank closes its doors for the final time next year.
If you or your business will be affected by this closure, please do get in touch with me at claire.coutinho.mp@parliament.uk so I can make sure your concerns are fed into my discussions.
