Bank of Scotland unveils plans to close 23 branches
A spokesman said the decision is part of a three-year strategy of closures, announced by the lender’s parent Lloyds Banking Group, in 2014.
He said: “As part of this strategic review, we can confirm today that Bank of Scotland will be closing 23 branches. In most cases, this is as a result of falling customer demand while in others it is because of overlaps with other nearby branches.

The spokesman added: “We have made the difficult decision to close some branches where we have seen a significant decline in the numbers of customers using them. 14 of these closures are classed as being last bank in town.”
