Townsfolk say they fear future generations will have 'nothing left' after the closure of another bank was announced. Lloyds Bank recently confirmed it will close its Beeston branch off Foster Avenue on May 11.
The company cited a decreased number of visitors to the bank as the reason for the move. The announcement of the Lloyds closure means that it is the third bank in less than a year to announce that it will shut its doors in the area.
Older residents were concerned the closure would make accessing their finances more difficult. Lloyds customer Deryck Sargant, 80, from Chilwell, said: "I've had this happen to me twice now, I've already had to change banks because the other closed. It's very frustrating for me.
