Barclays has announced it will close its Beeston branch later this year after a "sustained fall" in visits. A letter has been sent out to customers announcing the branch in Chilwell Road will shut its doors for the final time on September 9 this year.
The bank has blamed a 5 percent reduction in counter transactions in the two years to March 2020 and says it will work with customers to ensure they are supported after the closure. For Barclays customers in Beeston, the nearest branch will become High Street in Nottingham city centre. They say they do not intend to make anyone redundant as a result of the closure.
A Barclays spokesperson said: “The decision to close a branch is never an easy one. However, customers are increasingly using alternatives to branches to do their banking. As a result, we are seeing a sustained fall in branch visits across the UK.
