Andrew Selous MP met with Barclays staff in Dunstable earlier this month. The Barclays branch sadly closed in Dunstable last October, as result of a 64% reduction in footfall since 2019. However, unlike other banks which have closed in the town, Barclays offers a twice a week face-to-face service at the Dunstable Community Halls. Just off High Street North on Tuesdays from 09:00am-14:30pm and Fridays from 12:30pm to 15:00p.m. 97 Barclay customers visited in February and the figures to date in March show an increase on that.
Andrew Selous said, “I was sorry when the branch closed, but fair play to Barclays with their twice weekly face-to-face service in the middle of Dunstable. I know this is much appreciated by local people and it remains possible to pay in cash and checks at our local post offices.”
