Keep RBS Hathersage open!
Keep the Hathersage branch of the Royal Bank of Scotland open.
Why is this important?
It is the last remaining bank in the Hope Valley, Derbyshire. Without it many people will have to travel to Sheffield to visit a branch. The demographic of the Hope Valley is such that many of the residents are elderly and the public transport is very limited.
At a time when we are all being urged to use less energy I find it unbelievable that people would be expected to make a 20 to 30 mile round trip just to visit a bank.
Also, as the RBS was bailed out by the government it 'belongs' to all intents and purposes to we the taxpayers and so adds insult to injury making us expend time and fuel to get to a bank.
I personally have banked at RBS Hathersage since leaving school over 40 years ago and am indignant at having to go elsewhere.
Online banking has been proven time and again to be unsafe - the hackers are usually ahead of the security programmers!
So come on - Save Our Bank!
