TSB’s proposal to close Mapperley Plains and Netherfield branches in early 2021 will have a detrimental impact on our local population, the hardworking staff who work in these branches and will exacerbate problems with social isolation that are already prevalent within society locally and nationally.

The closure of TSB branches in Mapperley Plains and Netherfield will leave customers within the entire Gedling borough area without access to a local TSB branch, unless they travel to TSB’s Nottingham, Sherwood branch. We also note TSB has announced the closure of its Nottingham, Low Pavement branch too. These proposed closures will disproportionately disadvantage older, disabled, financially excluded and socially isolated customers - we therefore call on TSB to re-consider its decision to close the Mapperley Plains and Netherfield TSB branches.

It is shocking this decision to close local branches has been made without any consultation with the local community and TSB’s loyal customers - such action undermines TSB’s slogan - ‘Local banking for Britain’.

We urge TSB to listen to the people of Gedling borough and immediately halt plans to close Mapperley Plains and Netherfield TSB branches.
