Residents urged to sign up and support Royton banking hub bid
Residents of Royton are being encouraged to support a bid for a banking hub by completing surveys collected by Postmaster Paul Coughlan, his team, and Councillor Lewis Quigg, following the closure of all high street banks in the area.
Royton Postmaster Paul Coughlan, his team at Royton Post Office, and Royton North Councillor Lewis Quigg launched a community drive to collect surveys supporting a banking hub review for the area, following the closure of all high street bank branches in Royton.
The initiative aims to bring shared banking services to the community, similar to hubs opening nationwide that help people and businesses deposit and withdraw cash in areas where traditional bank branches have shut down.
Coughlan and his team joined Councillor Quigg for a morning survey collection session, with organizers urging maximum community participation to strengthen their case for a banking hub review.
“Sadly, Royton has lost all its high street banks, and we are now attempting to get a review to see if we can get a banking hub in Royton,” Councillor Quigg said. “If you don’t want to fill in a survey straight away or are pushed for time then you can collect one from the Post Office in Royton and drop it off at your convenience. If we don’t try, we will never know.”
