SAVE Yorkshire Bank's in West Yorkshire
Yorkshire Bank has announced branch closures, one of them being in my home town; Todmorden. Todmorden is a thriving town with a huge community who all come together in times of unrest. The Yorkshire Bank is a stunning building in the centre of our town filled with friendly staff and many customers.
The Yorkshire Bank in Todmorden is not the only one to be closing. Nearby branches such as Bradford, Leeds and Sheffield are also threatened by the closure which leaves customers with even less choice for local banking. "Over 200 jobs are at risk" quote ITV news which has an added strain on our society. Our community in Todmorden will not be the same without the Yorkshire Bank; the internet will overthrow face-to-face conversation and members of the town will have to travel to bank 'locally'.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
A decision about closing a bank branch is the responsibility of the bank, not the Government or Parliament.
You could start a new petition asking the Government to urge all banks, including Yorkshire Bank, not to close branches on which local communities rely.
