π EXCITING NEWS FOR OUR COMMUNITY! π¦π
We are delighted to finally announce that the Town Council has successfully secured the permanent Banking Hub in its current location, subject to contracts, where the temporary hub has been operating for the past two years.
Over that time, customers have become familiar with visiting this location, and it was important to the Town Council to retain the convenience of having two valued community services under one roof.
To create a larger and more accessible space for Banking Hub customers, some improvements will be made within the library building. These changes will provide better customer flow, a dedicated entrance for Banking Hub users and enhanced accessibility. We want to reassure residents that these works will not affect the library service, which will continue to operate as smoothly as it always has.
While these improvements are being carried out, the temporary Banking Hub will remain in operation and will relocate to an upstairs area. Banking Hub staff will be happy to assist any customers who require support in using the lift.
The Town Council is extremely pleased to have worked collaboratively with the County Council Library Services team and Cash Access UK to secure this long-term investment for our town.
Importantly, by keeping the Banking Hub within Town Council-owned property, it will provide a sustainable source of income for the Town Council. This income can then be reinvested into maintaining and improving public assets for the benefit of our community.
This is fantastic news for residents and helps ensure continued access to essential banking services for years to come.
