Consumers like using cash and there is no current reduction in the use of cash. LIkewise, the move by the banks to get rid of cheques has failed because individuals and small businesses use cheques to pay for services in person and through the post. Hence we need our bank over -the-counter service to continue to serve their customers.

I use the bank frequently and will be severely affected by its loss.

Sheen is turning into a backwater quite enough already. The Nat West serves a very useful purpose

East Sheen still has a large retired population who are not computer literate. It has a lot of small independent businesses. Forcing owners to travel further afield to deposit takings will make area more dangerous. Using bank machines in the open is not ideal.

It is a very busy branch they are so helpful particularly with the Cancer Fair. Quite Ridiculous.

RBS/NWB should recognise its wider obligation to the public. Reputation must be valued-the bottom line is not the only criterion in such a vital service.

It is not necessary to close this branch. It is widely used by the community and should be kept.

I am always greeted by name, and the staff are friendly and helpful. I will NOT bank online, as there are so many scams peppering that medium. There MAY be a bus to Richmond, but one won't be able to 'pop in' at one's convenience.

Please don't do this. It's not all about money. Banks have done enough damage already, they have a responsibility to the community in which they operate.

How will older residents cope with the closing of another bank? With so many email and phone scams, this will remove the one ‘safe’ place for them to seek help on their banking.

This is an important service to our community which should remain.

I have banked with NatWest all my life and used the East Sheen branch for 37 years. The staff have always been very helpful and charming and it would be a huge loss to the community if it closed. Online banking does not inspire confidence nor give the service one gets in person from the local branch. Please reconsider the decisions to close.

This would be terrible for East Sheen. This is a busy branch.

Fear this will mean a change of bank. Have been with the Nat West for 60 years but, with a view to possible problems as I get older, I want a bank I can walk to.

Please do not close this branch office which serves our community so well. It would be a blow to local residents and businesses to see this pillar of our local community disappear.

As someone whose grandparents used this branch since the 1950s and then parents and now myself and my siblings since birth this closure would be unbearable. Please consider not just the elderly customers who would be affected but also the young who use the branch for myriad services. Management need to weigh up the significant loss of business which will ensue as a result of closure, the majority of customers have already stated they will switch banks - it's a fact.

It would be most unwise to close this Nat West bank.

The ‘Westminster Bank’ was my grandparents bank in the 50s and my mother’s bank for decades, and has since played a significant part in the community as Nat West. Please don’t abandon all those who still rely on branch support or who use the cashpoint. Thank you
