Carolyn started a petition to save the bank. You may have seen similar petitions in your own towns. The difference is this one went viral.

Carolyn’s frustrations struck a chord and a petition aimed at a town of fewer than 20,000 residents received hundreds of thousands of signatures. Carolyn was right. Buckley does need a bank and residents have made that abundantly clear.

We also have a proportion of our population excluded from financial services by the high street banks, and despite promises to act, this remains the case.
