Which Lloyds bank branches are closing down?
LLOYDS announced it was closing down 100 of its branches across the country last year, putting 325 staff members out of work.
The bank went through swingeing cutbacks that saw 400 of its local branches closed by the end of 2017 — which was attributed to “changing customer behaviour”.
Now the banking giant has announced it is shutting down a further 49 branches.
Lloyds said some 1,230 jobs will be affected by the cuts – but it insisted workers will be supported to find alternative roles with 925 new jobs available within the business

Why are Lloyds banks closing and what has the reaction been?
A spokesman for Lloyds Banking Group said: “These branch closures – previously announced in July 2016 – are in response to changing customer behaviour, and the reduced number of transactions being made in branches”.
But ITV reporter Chris Choi described the move as “another blow for those who prefer to do their banking face to face”.
And Sun reader Adam McCartney blasted: “This is about greed and profits at the expense of people’s jobs and no regard for the customer.”
