"But we are expecting the threshold for needing face to face services within or close to a community to be around a population size of more than 7,000 within 1 km of the centre, and more than 70 local retailers."

What you can do if your local branch closes

Many people still rely on the face-to-face contact that a trip to the local high street branch can offer.

And some of these closures will make it difficult for some people, particularly the elderly to access the services they need.

However, there are still a number of ways in which customers can access basic banking services once their local branch has closed.

If you have been left stuck by one of these closures you should be able to do most basic banking tasks at your local Post Office.

This will not apply if you need to apply for a loan or open a new bank account but they should be able to help you with basic banking.

Many banks also offer a mobile banking service where the bank brings a bus to your area where services that are usually available at your branch can be obtained.

If you contact your bank they will be able to tell you if they offer that service and when and where the bus will be.

Other banks use buildings such as village halls or libraries to offer mobile banking services.
