LLOYDS Bank has announced it will be closing in Dartmouth.

The branch at Spithead will shut next March.

In a letter to customers, manager Steven Raven said: ‘After a recent review of how customers use our branches in the south Devon area, we have made the decision to close the Dartmouth branch.

‘From March 27, 2017, this branch will be closed. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.’

Mr Raven said customers could still use the Kingsbridge branch or any other Lloyds Bank branch to do their banking and all account details would carry on as before.

The closure will leave the town with just the NatWest Bank in Duke Street and the Yorkshire Building Society on South Embankment.

The Lloyds premises are believed to be in the ownership of the Dartmouth Trust.

We hope to bring you more on this story as we get it.
