The Lloyds bank in Carlton is among more than a dozen set to close across Great Britain. The branch in Carlton Hill will shut on July 26, with more and more people typically choosing to bank online rather than in person.
In a statement on Facebook, Councillor Michael Payne, deputy leader of Gedling Borough Council, wrote: "Yet another bank branch closure in Gedling borough. How on earth do these multi-billion-pound banking groups expect those without online access, or who are socially isolated and vulnerable, to continue banking without access to local banks?"
Lloyds Banking Group, which owns Halifax as well as Lloyds, had already announced 40 closures back in January. It said 18 Halifax sites and 22 Lloyds locations would be shut between April and June this year, reports Coventry Live, with the Beeston Lloyds bank due to shut in May.
