Yeah, like THAT's going to happen !
"LINK wants to manage the process to prune ATMs in areas where there are multiple machines very close together while safeguarding provision of ATMs in deprived communities, where demand would not otherwise make one viable"
TRANSLATION: Our members will moan about having to service machines in remote locations, so we'll let them remove them anyway. I'm sure a crappy little machine inside a dodgy corner shop that charges £1.50 a transaction will be a suitable replacement, assuming the shop is open when people actually need cash.
My previous bank had a "satellite" branch in a local estate agents, then they decided to shut it down and told me that my nearest branch would be twenty miles away. In a place that I could reach on ONE bus a week, on a Thursday.
Then they wondered why I wanted to close my accounts. Icon says it all.
