Last week the Halifax announced that it was closing all of its agnecies across the UK as they no longer fitted thier business model.
As a result of this decision the Halifax agencies in Thatto Heath, Rainford, Billinge and Fingerpost are all due to close in October/November this year.
For some of these communities the Halifax is the only banking facility serving those areas and even the cash point facilities which are currently available at these agencies may also be withdrawn. This will have a detrimental affect on local residents and business in the area who rely on these Halifax outlets for banking services and the shops located in proximity to them will be particulalrly affected. CEN has contacted ward councillors in each of the ward areas affected and we hope that some alternative provision and the retententio of the ATM cash machines will remain.
Encouraging and empowering people and communities to play their role in the development of St Helens.
