Save The St Agnes Bank / Cash Machine

The St Agnes post office has recently closed, our bus service is being significantly reduced and now Barclays (the only bank and cash machine in the village) is closing.

This is a vital resource for the community and its closing will have devastating social and economic impacts on the village.

We have a large elderly population in the village, many of whom don’t use credit / visa cards.

We are blessed to have some great independent shops in the village - a baker, news agent, small cafes, two green grocers and two butchers. Some of whom accept cards, some don't. With no cash machine in the village how will people use these great independent shops.

Where will the young people get their bus fare each morning to get to college?

Yes, there are shops that offers cash back, but you have to spend £ 5 to get cash back . It's hardly fair that you have to spend your money, to get your money.

Like many Cornish villages, tourism is our biggest business now the tourists won’t be able to get any cash to spend when they are here. Great.

Less services for residents and tourists - a social and economic disaster for us.
