We must fight to keep our banks open
- 5 June 2016 23:28314479Some towns now do not have high street banks ,but we must fight to keep the ones in our town open ,banks are needed in the high street I like 100s of others will not do on line banking I like to go into the bank to take out and some times put in money.As you get older it is getting hard to keep up with all what is happing around us.

6 June 2016 10:07314488I only visit the bank a couple of times a year, similar to the sub post office as I get my stamps and cash when out shopping.
I use internet banking and check my account every day in case there is a problem which happened a couple of weeks ago. My credit card was fraudulently used over the weekend luckily the lovely lady at the local HSBC sorted it all out for me in no time............One advantage of both internet banking and the need for a local bank branch.Bob Whysman and Brian Dixon like this-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
