Lloyds to close bank

The branch, on Bawtry Road, has been selected as one of 18 Halifax and 22 Lloyds branches to close between April and June, according to Lloyds Banking Group.

The nearest Lloyds for Wickersley customers will be on Wellgate in Rotherham town centre.

A review undertaken by Lloyds found that 142 customers used the branch regularly in the 12 months to July 2022.

Rother Valley MP Alexander Stafford said the closure was a “bitter blow” — adding: “I believe banks play a key role in high streets and should do more to support local retail and hospitality businesses.”
