MP criticises Barclays decision to close Ludlow and Bridgnorth branches
MP Philip Dunne has criticised the decision by Barclays Bank to close two of its branches in Shropshire.
The South Shropshire MP has said that he is "appalled" by the bank's decision to close its Ludlow and Bridgnorth branches.
The reason for the closures is down to switch to online and mobile banking, with 80 and 83 per cent of customers at the Ludlow and Bridgnorth branches, using alternative ways to bank.
Mr Dunne said:“This is another example of Barclays choosing to abandon rural communities with further branch closures.
