Campaigners save banking services for Wombourne despite Barclays closing branch
Barclays bank has closed its branch in Wombourne – but villagers have not lost face-to-face services completely thanks to campaigners.
South Staffordshire MP Sir Gavin Williamson has backed the decision by Barclays to operate the banking service in Wombourne at the library on Church Road.
It follows a campaign by customers and residents to save the bank on Gravel Hill, which Barclays officially closed on Wednesday, July 12, with a petition to save the bank receiving 1,300 signatures and, following the closure, leaving customers needing to go to Kingswinford for banking services.
The new Barclays Local service started on Monday and will run from 9.30am to 12.30pm and from 1pm to 4.30pm on Monday and Wednesday and from 9.30am to 12.30pm on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday each week.
