THE Bournemouth branch of a national bank has closed.

TSB Bank's Lansdowne site shut on May 19. No jobs have been lost as a result of the closure.

A spokesperson from the bank said: "The nearest TSB branch for customers is at 81 Old Christchurch Road, Bournemouth, which is just half a mile away.

"We’ve written to all our customers in advance to let them know about the closure.

"There are no redundancies as a result of the closure – and our TSB partners are all being relocated to nearby branches."

There had been a six per cent drop in customers visiting the branch ahead of the closure, as well as a 17 per cent reduction in ATM withdrawals.

Three-quarters of the branch's customers also visited another site for their banking.
