Yorkshire Bank have announced that their branch in the Market Place, Thorne, is set to close in July. Following a review the bank says the move relects the "changing needs" of customers, and that a number of unsustainable and “lapsed-lease” locations will close, including the branch at Thorne, which will close on 20th July. Steve Fletcher, Head of Customer Banking Networks, Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank, said: “I understand this will not be welcome news for those who use this particular branch. "These are difficult decisions but ones we must face as we try to keep up with the pace of change in the way people want to bank. "We have to balance our investment to ensure we support demand where it is greatest, across mobile, online and branch services." Customers’ accounts will automatically be transferred to the Doncaster branch. What are your views on the closure?
