Local politician Rachael Hamilton MSP has commented on news that Lloyds will shut four Bank of Scotland branches in Duns, Eyemouth, Jedburgh and Newcastleton.
The bank informed the MSP of the decision today. Lloyds said the branches in Duns, Eyemouth, Jedburgh and Newcastleton will be closing between October 2023 and February 2024.
Scottish Borders MSP Rachael Hamilton said: "I am extremely disappointed to hear that four bank branches will close, which will impact a lot of local people who rely on cash services.
"The lack of local banking facilities is a real problem across the Borders.
"I will be making it very clear to Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Bank that shutting these four branches is out of order."
