Banking options to be discussed in Wath Post Office open day
Wentworth and Dearne MP John Healey, who has campaigned against the closure of Wath’s HSBC and Yorkshire Bank branches, will attend the event at Wath Post Office.
Yorkshire Bank is due to close on May 12 and HSBC on June 23, which would leave the town without a bank.

More than 1,200 people signed Mr Healey’s petition against the bank closures and he has called for banks to have to pass tougher tests when they plan to shut local branches.
