Lloyds Banking Group has confirmed it will close 60 branches across the UK in a move which could result in 124 job losses.
A total of 24 Lloyds Bank, 19 Bank of Scotland and 17 Halifax sites have been earmarked for closure.
Lloyds stressed it aims to offer a new role to all staff affected. The company said the move was driven by a surge in online banking demand over recent years, while branch footfall has dwindled.
