Nat West bank in Radstock

Your views are needed to help shape your local MP's discussions with Nat West bosses.

As you probably know, Nat West Bank has said it wants to close its Radstock branch. Many local people are understandably concerned about the loss of the bank, and the impact it might have on the town.

I am arranging a meeting with senior Nat West bosses to ensure they properly understand local feeling. So I would be grateful if you would please take part in the short survey shown below. This will help me accurately represent local people's views about this issue.

If Nat West's plans go ahead, we will need to think carefully about how to fill the gap. Some people have talked about the possibility of another bank taking over the premises. Others have suggested that if Nat West closes, the Post Office should rise to the challenge and offer banking services that will help meet the needs of local people and businesses. So one of the questions below asks you to think about future options.

Because this is urgent, if at all possible, please respond to this survey by email or text (full details below).

Please also add any comments you have on the printed or add them to your email or text.

Thank you in advance for your time and effort. Your speedy response is appreciated.
