Barclays announces closure of only high street bank in Rochdale town

Barclays has announced it will be closing the only bank in a Rochdale town as part of a latest cull of 15 branches nationwide.

14 banks across England and one in Wales will all shut between April and May. The closures are in addition to the 15 sites Barclays previously announced would close later this year, including branches in Macclesfield, Milton Keynes, and London.

The latest set of closures mean that more than 100 banks are due to close this year following similar recent announcements from Lloyds, TSB and Natwest as more customers make the switch to online banking services.
