Barclays Local will close its Sandbach branch next month (November).

Currently based at Sandbach Town Hall, Barclays Locals were introduced as a flexible, cashless, way to support customers with their in-person banking needs.

A spokesperson said: "We regularly review our services and adapt to demand from customers. As the number of shared banking hubs grow, and our customers increasingly choose to bank digitally, the number of customers visiting our Locals has changed

"The Local closure will be in accordance with our regulatory obligations. We will contact customers who have visited our Local recently to let them know the banking alternatives that are available.

"Our local customers will also be informed of our decision at least 12 weeks before the change via a letter and we will make available our Reasons for Closure document.

"Barclays is committed to providing a modern banking experience for our customers and clients. This combines our network of over 200 full-service branches in major towns and cities across the UK, alongside the growing number of shared banking hubs, our flexible Barclays Locals, vans and our digital app.

"We will continue to invest in our branches by modernising premises and upgrading self-service and ATM technology. In certain branches with high footfall, we will be increasing the number of colleagues and opening hours to meet demand."
