A Nottinghamshire MP has said The Nottingham building society's move to shut 17 of its branches is disappointing. Darren Henry, who represents Broxtowe, said the closure of its branch in Stapleford would leave the town centre with no banking services.
The Conservative MP said it was "unacceptable" as high street banking is a "lifeline" for many people. “I was disappointed to hear the news that The Nottingham building society will be closing their Stapleford Branch by the end of the year," he said.
"Along with the closure of the Post Office this summer, with regard to which I wrote expressing my concerns, it means that there will no longer be any access for people to use banking services in Stapleford town centre. High Street banking is an important lifeline for many people, particularly older and more vulnerable residents and to leave Stapleford without any in person banking is completely unacceptable in my view.
