Dame Harriett Baldwin MP has reiterated her commitment to seeing a permanent banking hub installed in Pershore.

The West Worcestershire MP last visited the temporary hub, which is located within the town's library, in the spring.

The hub will allow customers to conduct cash and banking transactions and communicate with representatives from high street banks.

However, now that the Lloyds Bank branch in Pershore has shut, no definitive location has been established for the permanent banking hub, despite two potential sites being under consideration.

Dame Harriett said: "I am pleased that Pershore’s temporary solution is in place in the town’s library and I’ve had positive reports from local people that the hub is working well.

"But the most recent updates from Cash Access are very light on detail about progress towards a permanent home for the hub, I’ve been working with them and local stakeholders for over a year to unblock any obstacles.

"This is an issue that needs significant extra effort during the summer to get a permanent solution in place and I have offered Cash Access my repeated support as it seeks solutions to this important matter."
