Local MSP for the Linlithgow Constituency is again calling on Royal Bank of Scotland to reconsider their decision to close their Bathgate Branch.
RBS announced their intention to close the Bathgate branch effective from 25th September 2024, however, this date has now been delayed until 14th November 2024.
Commenting Fiona said;
“The closure of the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) Bathgate branch will be a huge loss to the town.
“I have repeatedly called on RBS to rethink this closure and was hopeful when the branch was able to remain open past the initial closure date announced by RBS of 25th September 2024.
“I have previously written to RBS to urge them to rethink their decision to close the Bathgate branch and my position on this closure has not changed as I appreciate the importance of retaining this branch to provide in-person banking facilities in Bathgate. This is particularly important for elderly and vulnerable customers and local businesses who rely on access to a banking facility in Bathgate.
“I am again urging RBS to rethink their decision to close the Bathgate branch on 14th November.”
