11 MOTION ON NOTICE

 

Council are asked to consider the following motion on notice from Councillors Smith, Candon, Flaxman-Taylor, Annison, Plant and Wainwright


Addressing the Closure of Lloyds Bank Branch on Gorleston High Street

 

The closure of this branch on Gorleston High Street will have a significant impact on the local community, particularly affecting vulnerable residents, small businesses, and those with limited access to online banking services. The last surviving physical banking branch in the local area has been a cornerstone of our community, providing essential banking services and support to many who rely on face-to-face interactions for their financial needs.

 

The Council requests the Chief Executive of Lloyds Bank to:

 

Reconsider the decision to close the Gorleston High Street branch, taking into account the significant negative impact on the local community.

 

Explore alternative solutions to ensure continued access to essential banking services for Gorleston residents, such as maintaining limited branch hours, implementing mobile banking units, or partnering with local businesses to provide banking services.

 

Engage in a constructive dialogue with the Council and the community to address our concerns and work collaboratively towards a resolution that supports the needs of Gorleston's residents and businesses.
