Dear Resident 

Closure of the Denmead Branch of Nat West

The Parish Council was dismayed to learn of the proposed closure of the Denmead branch of Nat West. This is a valued local facility used by many within the village, and also by those in adjoining villages.

By doing nothing, the branch would have quietly closed. And indeed, this may still be the outcome. The Parish Council will not let this happen without doing what it can to prevent the closure, or by getting the Bank to provide an alternative facility locally.
