The Scottish Parliament’s Economy, Jobs and Fair Work Committee is conducting an inquiry into the impact of bank closures, prompted by the closure of a third of Scotland’s bank branches between 2010 and 2017.
The committee wants to hear from as many people as possible, whether community council members, business owners or individuals. More information is available as follows:
a) Impact on local businesses, consumers and the Scottish economy: http://parliament.scot/parliamentarybusiness/CurrentCommittees/107957.aspx
b) The Call for Views (no requirement to answer every question) http://parliament.scot/parliamentarybusiness/CurrentCommittees/107960.aspx
c) Survey of individuals and businesses
Locally we have of course seen the closure of the Royal Bank branch in Stonehaven and the removal of the RBS mobile branch from Portlethen.
