POOLE’S TSB bank is among 82 branches that will be closed in 2020 as part of a plan to make £100m of cost cuts by 2022.

The bank said that 370 jobs will be affected because of the closures, but they will offer help and support to the people hit.

The Poole branch, which is located on Falkland Square, will close in October 2020 and is among five branches in the South West of England affected by the cuts.

The closest branch to Poole, which is in Bournemouth, will not be affected.

Robin Bulloch, customer banking director at TSB, said: "We will fully support customers through this transition.

"We realise this is difficult news for our branch partners and will do everything to support those affected to offer voluntary redundancies and redeploy as many people as we can to other roles."
