Halifax counter to close
From the Herald Express:
Shutting down a bank counter in Dawlish means customers face a 10-mile journey.
The Halifax agency counter at financial advisers Willsworthy Alexander in Queen Street is due to close on July 31.
A spokesman for Halifax said: "The nearest Halifax branch is in Newton Abbot approximately 10 miles away.
"The group also has an arrangement with the Post Office, whereby its personal customers can use post offices to carry out essential banking transactions.
"In Dawlish, there is a post office within close proximity.
"Willsworthy Alexander, which the counter operates from, will remain open as normal."
Halifax customer Jennifer Jacombe, of Dawlish said: "We are going to have to go to Newton Abbot and that is quite a long way for the elderly."
