The last remaining bank in a Suffolk town is due to close down today. 

Lloyds is set to shut the doors for the final time on its branch in Haverhill on Monday. 

The bank was due to close down on June 25 after the banking giant announced a round of closures last year. 

However, bosses said they would keep the branch open so that a banking hub could be set up in the town. 

Last month, Cash Access UK has confirmed that a permanent hub would open in the town at The Chauntry Centre. 

The hub was officially opened on November 12 and offers a counter service operated by the Post Office where customers of all major banks can carry out cash transactions.

The site offers a community banker service where people can talk to their own bank about issues on the day their bank is in the hub. 

This is for HSBC on Monday morning, NatWest on Tuesday, Lloyds on Wednesday, Santander on Thursday and Barclays on Friday.

When Lloyds announced its Haverhill branch would close it said 81% of the branch's customers used other ways of banking, such as mobile, internet, or telephone banking as well as other branches. 

Community leaders had described the closure as a "blow" for Haverhill. 

A Lloyds Bank spokesman said:  “As many customers now choose to bank online or through their mobile app, visits to our Haverhill branch have fallen over recent years. 

"Customers can use the local Post Office for everyday banking which is a short walk away, access cash at the nearby free-to-use ATMs, alongside other ways to bank such as over the telephone and online, or the new banking hub once it is up and running.“
