Motion text
That this House notes with concern the decision of the Clydesdale Bank to close the Crieff High Street branch; further notes that Crieff has already lost a number of bank branches in recent years; notes that surrounding towns and villages in rural Perthshire depend upon this branch in Crieff for business and personal banking services; acknowledges that not everyone has access to online banking and can’t always travel the extra distance to alternative branches due to transport and mobility issues; and urges the Government to work with Clydesdale Bank to ensure that nobody in Crieff is left to suffer from financial exclusion as a result of the decision, and that cashpoint access is maintained in the absence of a branch.
