A bid to bring banking services back to a Radcliffe has been submitted. Community group Growing Together Radcliffe has applied for the town to be assessed for one of the hubs and has advised Bury council of its plan.
Six years ago, Radcliffe - which has a population of around 30,000 - had three banks and a building society. Now there are none.
The Halifax building society closed in 2019, with the The Royal Bank of Scotland shutting its doors a year earlier. Its last remaining bank branch, the TSB on Market Place, closed last year.
