Banking hub in Bakewell

Robert Court, Lib Dem PPC for Derbyshire Dales and Mark Wakeman the former Conservative Councillor for Bakewell and local businessman have together launched a campaign for a Banking Hub in Bakewell.

After the closure of the Natwest branch in Bakewell, what about a banking hub in the town?

In a banking hub 5 different banks each have their own day of the week, a better arrangement than what we have just lost. In November, Robert wrote to the CEO of Natwest to suggest a banking hub. The reply failed to address the hub idea.

Now we can all do something about this, in order to set up a banking hub the national LINK organisation needs to be behind the idea. LINK is there to help people access the cash services that they need. We can request a review of our community’s access to cash by completing a request on their website: https://www.link.co.uk/consumers/request-access-to-cash/ and we are encouraging residents of Bakewell and surrounding villages that rely on Bakewell for retail and banking services to complete the form.
