Planned closure of Lloyds Banking Group’s Immingham Branch

Martin Vickers Excerpts

Tuesday 15th November 2022 Commons Chamber

[Martin Vickers (Cleethorpes) (Con)]

I rise to present a petition signed by 5,286 residents of Immingham and district, who are concerned about the closure of Lloyds bank, which is the last bank in the town.

The petition states:

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges Lloyds Banking Group to cancel the closure of the branch and to seek to create a shared banking hub in Immingham where multiple banks can operate to serve the local community of over 20,000 people and businesses.

And the petitioners remain, etc.

Following is the full text of the petition:

[The petition of the residents of Immingham,

Declares that the planned closure of Lloyds Banking Group’s Immingham branch will result in the town losing the last bank that not only serves the town of Immingham but also the surrounding villages. Access to cash continues to be vitally important to a significant proportion of society, particularly the older generation who tend to have less access to online banking.

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges Lloyds Banking Group to cancel the closure of the branch and to seek to create a shared banking hub in Immingham where multiple banks can operate to serve the local community of over 20,000 people and businesses.

And the petitioners remain, etc.]
