Lloyds and Halifax to shut 66 branches - full list of closures

Lloyds Banking Group has announced the closure of 66 high street banks.

It confirmed 48 Lloyds Bank branches and 18 Halifax branches will shut down. The closures will take place between October 2022 and February 2023.

Branches across England, Northern Ireland, and Wales will be affected, the Mirror reports. The full list of closures is below - with one Greater Manchester branch among them.

The closures come just two months after the lending giant said it plans to shut 28 branches between August and November this year. Lloyds said all staff will have the opportunity to move to a different branch or another part of the business and there will be no compulsory or voluntary redundancies.

It also confirmed that all of the branch locations announced for closure have at least one free to use ATM within half a mile and a Post Office within 1.1 miles. Once all the announced closures are complete, there will be 646 Lloyds Bank, 510 Halifax and 165 Bank of Scotland branches remaining.

Russell Galley, director of consumer relationships at Lloyds Banking Group said: “Our customers have more choice than ever in how they bank with us.

“As our customers do more online, visits to some branches have fallen by as much as 85% over the last five years.

“Alongside our digital, online and telephone services, we’ll continue to invest in our branches, but they need to be in the right places, where they’re well-used.”
