'I'm a loyal Lloyds customer and I had to read about city branch closure in The Star!' - Reader's letter

Dorothy Jones writes in about a bank closure recently revealed in The Star...

I was dismayed to read in Friday’s Star of the proposed closure of the town centre branch of Lloyds Bank.

Lloyds has announced the closure of 1 High Street next to the cathedral and opposite Fargate.

I have been a member of Lloyds since moving to the centre of Sheffield almost 50 years ago.

I have to read about it in The Star!

What a way to treat a loyal customer!

I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised since within the last six months they have closed my local branch at Manor Top, which always seemed to have good ‘footfall’, and subsequently stopped the possibility of using the Post Office to enter cheques.

I am an 87-year-old customer of whom the bank can expect to not need banking in the near future so no need to worry then about how I will manage.

Apparently I shall be able to use the Halifax.

Will I be able to find one?
