Belfast City Council has vowed to put pressure on Ulster Bank over plans to close branches.
At the monthly meeting of the full council on Wednesday evening (June 1), an SDLP proposal from Councillor Brian Heading was carried, calling on the council to meet with unions and the Chamber of Commerce to assess how the Dunmurry closure and other potential closures might affect the city.
Ulster Bank announced last month it will close nine branches across Northern Ireland - in the Collin area of Dunmurry, Belfast, as well as in Holywood, Warrenpoint, Antrim, Ballymoney, Larne, Comber, Maghera and Clogher. The branches will close between September and October.
