Establish a Banking Hub in Kenilworth to Replace the Banks that have Vacated the Town

The Issue

With the proposed closure of Lloyd's Bank in Kenilworth next February, our town will be left without a suitable banking facility, facilities that were manned by helpful and knowledgeable individuals. This has put our senior citizens in a difficult position, as many of them still prefer face-to-face banking methods to online platforms for their financial transactions and queries. The importance of maintaining our community's access to banking personnel cannot be understated. A study by Age UK shows that 49% of adults over 75 are not online, hence making personal banking services vital (Age UK, 2018). We propose the creation of a Banking Hub on Warwick Road, making use of one of the vacant properties that previously housed banks. Establishing a Banking Hub will not only cater to the needs of our current residents, but it will also contribute to the economic growth and social fabric of Kenilworth. With your support, we can make our town a place where brick-and-mortar banking is valued and nurtured. Please sign this petition and give voice to the many in our community who need accessible, in-person services for their banking needs.
