For those of us with accounts there, it will mean a trip to either Penrith or Kirkby Stephen to do something as basic as paying in a cheque. Only one cash machine in a town of nearly 3000 is a recipe for disaster. It would be interesting to get some figures from the HSBC regarding just how many people are needed to make a bank viable. Perhaps if headquarters were to restore some of the services it transferred to Penrith a couple of years ago, many more people WOULD use the bank. I for one regularly use this branch and feel very disappointed that after being a member for over 36 years the door is being closed in my face. I fully intend to close my account if this branch closes.

HSBC seem to be putting profit ahead of service and if common sense were to be applied then surely they would see the value of retaining the branch.

Small towns like Appleby and my home town of Millom need banks as the distances to other places involves some long journey times.

All the staff are wonderful, they bend over backwards to help anyone - especially the elderly or disabled. I feel its those people who would suffer from the branch closing the most. Yes I know some people are able to keep up with the modern times e.g internet banking. but what about the people who cant access the internet or unable to drive to the new account holding branch which will be penrith which is nearly 20 miles away, I know there is telephone banking but Im sorry I struggle to understand a hsbc operator at times so what about an elderly or hard of hearing person. I'm sure as much as me they dont have the patience to listen to the 10 options you get on the telephone before speaking to an actual person!!!!
Its not just the branch we are loosing but yet another beautiful building will lie empty as no one will be able to afford the rent to make it into a shop or yet another charity shop!!!
I hope that if the branch definately does close then the staff whom have worked there for so many years will have somewhere to transfer to & not lose their jobs!
