Lloyds Bank is to close yet more branches – here’s which ones are affected
Lloyds Banking Group is to axe another 15 branches by the end of March in a move that will see up to 23 jobs lost
LLOYDS Banking Group is to axe another 15 Lloyds Bank branches by the end of March 2019 in a move that will see up to 23 jobs lost.
The decision follows the shuttering of 49 branches across its Lloyds and Halifax brands between July and October this year which put 325 staff members out of work.
A Lloyds spokeswoman: said: "We have confirmed the locations of a small number of Lloyds bank branches which will close between January and March 2019.
"These branch closures are in response to changing customer behaviour and the reduced number of transactions being made in branches.
"All branches announced for closure have a Post Office less than half-a-mile away so customers can still access their banking locally.
"We continue to make a significant investment in our branches and we are proud to have the largest network of branches in the UK."
Which Lloyds Bank branches are closing?
These are the 15 branches of Lloyds Bank that will close early next year:

Union Accord said the closures have so far been managed without compulsory redundancies.
The bank - under boss Antonio Horta Osorio - has been pushing forward with an overhaul of its workforce and branch network in recent months, with a reorganisation meant to make it more relevant amid a boom in digital banking.
