NatWest has announced the closure of a high street bank in Bolton. The bank on Lee Lane in the centre of Horwich will shut, although an exact closure date has yet to be confirmed, it was announced on Thursday.
It's one of 23 branch closures across the country confirmed by NatWest, adding to dozens that have already been closed by other banking companies so far this month. A banking 'hub' is expected to be created in Horwich instead, with a Post Office-provided counter service.
The bank said it had chosen 21 sites in England to shut down and two in Wales. Sites including Frome, Bootle, Stroud and Blackpool will shut down between late April and the start of June, NatWest said. The timing of the closure of the branches in Horwich and Shoreham-by-Sea have yet to be decided.
