Closure of Larkhall’s last bank ‘will hit vulnerable hardest’

The Bank of Scotland in Larkhall, which has served the community over 50 years, is set to shut its doors in January.

The planned closure of a Lanarkshire bank has prompted protest from local residents who have branded it “one of the worst decisions” made in the town.

The Bank of Scotland in Larkhall’s Union Street, which has served the community for over 50 years, is set to shut its doors on January 8.

Hundreds are calling for an independent review into the decision, raising concerns over transport and digital access.

Larkhall Plan Partnership chairperson Nancy Barr said the move will hit older and vulnerable people.
