Questions raised over Norwich and Peterborough branch closure

December 20, 2009 12:00 AM

Simon Wright, Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Spokesman for Norwich South, has written to the Chief Executive of the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society to raise concerns about the proposal to close the Norwich Unthank Road branch in March.

Mr Wright said:

"I've been contacted by a customer who lives near to the branch. She tells me that many local people use the Norwich and Peterborough because of the convenience of having a branch nearby.

"I know that in this part of Norwich there are a particularly high number of elderly people and others with mobility problems who may not find it easy to get to another branch further away. I want to know whether the Norwich and Peterborough have accounted for this in their plans."

"I also want to know what impact the loss of this branch will have on businesses, as banking facilities are limited in the area. Shops may also suffer along Unthank Road if the draw of the building society is lost."

    If you are a resident of the Norwich South constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
