Keep our Branch open
It's important for there to be a bank in Eastham. Not everyone uses Internet banking, there are many pensioners and people who can't afford computers and the internet in Eastham who need to bank in person.
Lib Dem Councillors, in Wirral South say 'We are calling on NatWest Bank and their owners RBS to listen to the weight of public opinion and call off this disastrous plan to close the branch.'
'We cannot have a situation where are nearest branch is either Portsunlight, (which is not on a bus route,) or Ellesmere Port, both of which are a good distance away.
"NatWest must think again!'
Given the negative coverage that the banking industry has had in recent years I hope that RBS will listen to the concerns raised by residents on this issue and make the changes needed to keep this important service in Eastham open.

The Natwest bank is an important part of the social and working community of Eastham. Port Sunlight or Ellesmere Port do not have easy access for people with out cars, and those with cars will have parking problems. The other option of using the post office brings doubts as to whether the post office will remain in Eastham. We need a local bank.
I have disabiltys,spinal injurys and really bad leg ulcers,eastham bank was my local facility now to go to port sunlight or elesmere port is hard for me
I am a pensioner pay all my bills ect and bank with Natwest they have closed the Bromborough bank it is going to be a treck to port sunlight
I think it's awful that the only bank in Eastham is being aloud to go ... is are small area not worthy of a bank ... They will be getting rid of the chemist and tescos next!!!!
This bank needs to remain open for the sake of pensioners and families that can not access facilities further away.
Don't close
In 2014 there was a branch closed in Bromborough (our nearest local village) This was fairly acceptable at the time as people were able to use the Eastham branch instead. Now what are we to do - travel miles for service - when some people have no transport or are too old to drive? Parents with young families to think of? It will be a great hardship for them especially in the bad weather.. NatWest Eastham - is a lovely branch and the staff are exceptional. The customer support with all the services they provide is the best ever.We think it's a poor move for all customers locally There's a large elderly community and business community here and in the villages of Bromborough and Willaston. They totally rely on the Nat West. for their banking needs. Please review his decision - we do need you here. It would be such a great loss to us all - young and old alike.. . 43 years we have been baking with you - Please think again. Thankyou

My 90 grandfather will have to rely on others to take him to Ellesmere Port or Port Sunlight if you close. At least with Eastham he can have a little walk to the branch giving him some independence
