Many residents have approached us about the lack of high street banks in Birstall since the closure of Barclays, Santander and NatWest banks.
Local people want the opportunity to have face-to-face contact with their bank to discuss financial and banking issues.
Local businesses need to be able to deposit cheques, and cash, as well as collect change.
Peter Bedford and Leicestershire County Councillor Daniel Grimley have been listening your concerns about the lack of a high street bank in the village.
We believe that local residents should have easy access to banking facilities.
We are therefore petitioning for LINK Scheme Holdings Ltd to recommend providing and opening a new banking hub for the residents of Birstall.
We hope you can support our campaign!
