Our ‘last’ real bank is to close on May 3rd. I’ve been a customer of Barclays (like them or not) since 1969 – celebrating 50 years, I’ve always got on well with them and as press releases state, less and less are using branch services. I was one of the first in Whittlesey to have ‘A Cash Card’ well it was actually a punched card which you pre-paid before hand – £10:00 a card
Sorry to see more staff loosing their jobs and what becomes of the Bank I wonder – maybe a take-away or hairdressers we wait and see….
Only 149 people regularly used the bank for banking services.
Ex Manager Mr Clarence Hurst who ran the bank during the 1960’s and 70’s – now well into his 90’s still lives in Whittlesey, unfortunately he had a fall and last I heard was in hospital.
Sorry for businesses and community group banking –
