The only remaining banks left in two Lanarkshire towns are set to close this year, it has been confirmed.
The Bank of Scotland's Carluke branch will shut on June 27 and the Shotts one on August 15, after parent company Lloyds Banking Group say that customers now using online banking has reached an all time high.
Local politicians have slammed the decision, saying the news is a blow to the community, with Clydesdale and Shotts residents now facing further travel to access banking services.
