Huge thank you to Natural Bake this morning for Hosting the BBC when they came to film and interview locals over the closure of Lloyds, the last remaining bank in the town.
Staff at Natural Bake took the opportunity to hand me the petition signed by hundreds of residents to forward on to Lloyds management. The banks are putting profits before people and leaving our more vulnerable residents at a disadvantage.
Meanwhile, I have presented a Motion to the council to explore setting up a banking hub similar to Rochford. This should be debated later in July.
Cllr Jacqui Thornton
