Liberal Democrat — Hazel Grove

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 June 2025

Debate

Bank Closures and Banking Hubs

Contribution

A point that has not yet been made is the importance of credit unions and access to responsible lending. One thing that people can do at a high street bank but cannot do at a banking hub is get a loan, so I am grateful to the hon. Member for mentioning credit unions. In my area, Nationwide on the A6 in Hazel Grove has shut, which is having a massive impact on what people can do beyond access to cash.
