The latest in a string of branch closures will see the final bank close in Richmond, part of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s constituency.

Labour has called for shared banking hubs to be opened quicker.
Barclays said the Richmond branch would close when the new hub is up and running.
“As visits to branches continue to fall, we need to adapt to provide the best service for all our customers,” a Barclays spokesman said.
John Howells, chief executive of Link, which oversees access to cash, said: “High streets are at the heart of our communities and banking hubs are helping to bring life back to them. It’s critical that we’re able to provide free access to cash and face-to-face banking services.”
In August, the government said banks would face fines if they failed to provide free access to cash withdrawals for consumers and businesses.
