Bank Closures In Small And Rural Communities (EDM1626)

Bank Closures In Small And Rural Communities

EDM number 1626 in 2010-12, proposed by Roger Williams on 17/03/2011.
Categorised under the topic of Financial institutions.

That this House notes with concern that many bank closures are occurring in small and rural communities; is aware that these closures will have a detrimental effect on local people, small businesses and tourism; further notes that limited broadband access in many of the areas will adversely impact on many customers who will be left without a face to face service; is concerned about possible loss of jobs as a result of these closures; and calls on those banks considering bank closures in small and rural communities to reassess those proposals and where possible leave these branches open for the foreseeable future.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
