The NatWest branch on Bury New Road in Prestwich has closed after a significant decrease in in-person transactions. The bank has requested permission to return the building to its original state following the closure.
A prominent Prestwich building is set for changes after closing as a bank branch last week. The NatWest branch on Bury New Road, closed on October 18 after the rise of online banking led to a drop off in footfall at the branch with in-person transactions falling by almost 70 per cent.
In a planning application published by Bury Council this week the bank have requested permission to return the building to its pre-existing state following the branch closure. The application stated that the closure had led to 11 full time employees who worked at the Bury New Road site no longer being employed at the branch.
