Two Natwest branches are closing in Greater Manchester, it has been announced. The bank group is to shut 36 branches across the UK by the end of July 2024.

It means the total number of NatWest branches scheduled to close this year and into 2024 stands at 140, while the figure for RBS is four, the Mirror reports.

The branch on Melbourne Street, Stalybridge, closed its doors for the final time on Saturday (July 8). This was the last bank in the town.

The closure of the last bank in Stalybridge was met with frustration. This included Stalybridge and Hyde MP, Jonathan Reynolds, who criticised the decision.
