Closure of town's Barclays bank means it's a 70-mile round trip to nearest branch

Barclays customers in one Welsh town are facing a 70-mile round trip to the nearest branch after a closure was announced. The banking giant said the decision to close the Dolgellau branch was made due to falling customer numbers, with the branch only having 22 regular customers.

The branch will close on Thursday October, 27. Barclays said everyday transactions can be completed at any Post Office with the closest located at nearby Plas Yn Dref Street. But the nearest branches will be in Aberystwyth or Pwllheli, around 35 miles away, North Wales Live reports.
