People in Kirkby-in-Ashfield are waiting in anticipation to see what happens to what was the town's last bank. The Lloyds branch in Station Street closed earlier this year, despite a local MP objecting to the move.
People in the town, which is now without a bank, branded the closure 'pathetic', with Lloyds confirming the branch was one of 48 to shut this year. Local businesses are keen to know what's likely to replace the bank.
Sam Gulduren, manager of The Posh Meze Bar and Grill in Ellis Street, said: "Everybody is waiting in anticipation to see what it's going to be because there's a lot of rumours going about that it's going to be this, that, and the other so we're just going to wait and see. Since I've been a little girl, it's always been a bank. If you want to go to the bank now you have to travel to Sutton and go to the branch there."
