Lloyds Banking Group have announced the closure of its branch in Ystradgynlais.
The closure will come into effect in September 2023, with customers of the bank set to receive a letter to notify them of this closure.
James said:
“This is disappointing news and a real blow to Ystradgynlais. Unfortunately, this is part of a wider trend, where we have seen towns lose all their banking services – from Hay-on-Wye in the East to Ystradgynlais in the West.
“I have asked to meet officials from Lloyds Bank to discuss this matter urgently. I want all customers to be supported, and to ensure that suitable arrangements are put in place for those unable to travel to the Pontardawe branch.
“If anyone has concerns about this closure, please email my office or call in at our surgery in the Library on the second Thursday morning of each month”.
