RBS has given approval for the closure of the only bank in New Deer, forcing customers of RBS to travel 30 miles to nearest branch. Harriet Cross MP wrote to the RBS expressing her disappointment and said in a statement:
‘I’m deeply disappointed and frustrated that RBS have been given approval to close the New Deer branch. Decisions like these are leaving the elderly and most vulnerable socially isolated. I am committed to ensuring residents have access to in-person banking and I have written to RBS expressing my disappointment and asking for their plans to help customers impacted by this decision.”
