60 Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland branches to close around UK

Lloyds, Bank of Scotland and Halifax branches in the North East of England appear to be unaffected by the latest round of bank closures.

Lloyds Banking Group says its decision to close 60 banks around the UK, including Lloyds, Bank of Scotland and Halifax branches, has been driven by customers switching to online banking. The full list published by Mirror Online includes 24 Lloyds Bank, 19 Bank of Scotland and 17 Halifax banks.

None of the banks affected by this round of cuts are in the North East of England, but branches have already closed this year. Lloyds closed a branch in Ponteland in February 8. Halifax in Consett shut on March 3.
