Submission Documents: By Councillor Franny Scally:- "Council calls on RBS to reconsider planned closures in its branch network and in doing so to reverse its decision to close Maryhill and Possilpark branches. Council notes that the branches are in areas where there is a significant need to promote and enhance financial inclusion and that have many vulnerable residents who would struggle to access alternative banks or digital banking. Council is unaware of any attempts by RBS to consult with the local community ahead of this announcement, and therefore urges RBS to shelve its branch closure programme in Maryhill and Possilpark. Council calls on RBS to engage with residents, with a view to investing in local communities, as opposed to withdrawing core financial services often relied on by both businesses and the most vulnerable. Council notes that the UK Government bailed out RBS to the tune of £45 billion." Help Icon
