Royal Bank of Scotland have announced that their Heaton Park Branch (corner of St Margaret’s Road and Bury Old Road) is to close this summer.

Many residents have reacted with concern, as this is the only bank in the Bury Old Road area and a well loved local service.

We are concerned that RBS seem to have made this announcement without any consultation with the local community. Banking has changed, with more people using online services, but some people do prefer bank counter services and this closure leaves us with no provision anywhere in this part of the Prestwich area.

What do you think? Let us know your views and help us make representations to RBS.
