No new closure date has been announced for a Barclays bank that was due to shut earlier this year. 

Earlier this year the banking giant announced it would be closing its branch in Leiston due to a lack of people using the bank.

The branch was due to close on Friday, May 17. 

However in May Barclays announced it would be keeping the bank open temporarily so that a banking hub could be set up. 

A statement from Barclays said it is keeping the bank open to give Cash Access UK time to provide a banking hub in Leiston. 

A new closure date has not yet been announced.  

According to Barclays, only 64 customers use the branch regularly and 86% of people who do use it also use the online banking app. 

After the branch closes, there will be no banks in the east Suffolk town and the nearest Barclays will be in Lowestoft.
