BANK CLOSURES IN SMALL AND RURAL COMMUNITIES

That this House notes with concern that many bank closures are occurring in small and rural communities; is aware that these closures will have a detrimental effect on local people, small businesses and tourism; further notes that limited broadband access in many of the areas will adversely impact on many customers who will be left without a face to face service; is concerned about possible loss of jobs as a result of these closures; and calls on those banks considering bank closures in small and rural communities to reassess those proposals and where possible leave these branches open for the foreseeable future.
