Barclays plans to close more branches in the year ahead

Barclays will close its branches in Scunthorpe and Beverley within 24 hours of each other next March, a week after the shutters go up on the Grimsby branch.

The closures are part of a long-running series of closures as the face of ‘high street’ banking changes for ever.

Barclays says: “Lots of people are choosing to bank differently these days, which means not as many are using branches.

“The decision to close a branch is never easy and we appreciate it might not be welcome news, but we’ll make sure customers still have access to our banking services. We’ll be available to help and talk to you about managing your money at many locations across the UK.”

Closures have been ongoing for years across the region; Barton went in 2018; Bedale, Bridlington, and Thirsk went earlier this year amongst a raft of others nationwide.
