✍️ Petition to: Bank of Scotland & Lloyds Banking Group
Started by Lanarkshire Law Estate Agents, an award-winning local business serving Bellshill and the wider Lanarkshire community.

 
💬 Summary
Bank of Scotland plans to close its Bellshill branch in January 2026, leaving the town without a single bank or banking hub.
That would make Bellshill the largest town in Lanarkshire with no local banking facilities — and that’s simply not acceptable.

 
📣 Why This Matters
Bellshill deserves to keep its bank.

For generations, the Bank of Scotland branch in Bellshill has been more than a building.
It’s where local businesses deposit their takings, where older residents manage their finances face-to-face, and where many people receive guidance and reassurance.

If the closure goes ahead, it will:

Leave vulnerable residents without access to essential banking.
Impact small businesses that rely on in-person cash services.
Reduce footfall and trade in our recovering town centre.
Bellshill has a proud community spirit and a growing local economy.
Losing our last major bank undermines both.

 
🙌 A United Community
We thank Frank McNally MP for speaking out and standing up for Bellshill residents and businesses.
He’s right — it’s unacceptable that the largest town in Lanarkshire could be left without any bank or hub.
Together, we can show that Bellshill values its local services and deserves better.

 
📢 What We’re Asking
We call on Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group to:

Reconsider the planned closure of the Bellshill branch.
Engage with North Lanarkshire Council, local representatives, and business owners to explore solutions — such as reduced hours, shared premises, or a community banking hub.
Let’s keep Bellshill’s banking local, accessible, and community-focused.
