44 Lloyds Bank and Halifax branches to close
Lloyds Banking Group has faced anger after announcing the closure of 44 branches, including two sites in Yorkshire.
The bank said it will close both the Leeds Horsforth and Morley (Leeds) branches of Lloyds Bank. There are no plans to close any Halifax branches in Yorkshire.
The Unite union said the decision was a “bitter blow” to staff and customers and accused the bank of “walkingaway” from local communities.
