National Westminster Bank and made the decision to close down their branch on Knutsford Road in Chelford. We feel this decision has been made very lightly and with no consideration to the local residents, young and old, and the local ecomony. Small villages all over England are loosing their "charm" and we are not going to lie down and let the same thing happen to Chelford.
The stories coming in about how essential this branch is are heart-breaking. Stay tuned for the next steps.

The momentum is incredible. This proves that our village will not let itself be ignored.

Surely with the new builds which are coming to Chelford and the demise of banks in goostrey, holmes chapel etc it makes sense to keep this one open and advertise the fact, it also needs to be open more - a trek to the post office is a stupid suggestion as it is not accessible to most and is a drive for others - this is again another cost cutting exercise to increase the bonuses of those that have no common sense or are not customer focused

In the 90mins I was 'protesting' there were over 100 signatures collected!! How NatWest can say they get so few people in the bank is beyond me as the vast majority of people signing did so on the way into or out of the bank?!!

The unhelkpful bank leaving older/disabled & vulnerable residents with no options. Their answer is people use the post office... and only 2o regular customers use the branch!!

I have been using this bank for over 25 years, I also have elderly people who rely on this bank.
