Market Drayton's former Lloyds Bank could reopen as new Post Office 'banking hub'
Plans have been submitted to transform a former Lloyds Bank branch in Market Drayton into a new banking hub.
* This article has been amended. An earlier version incorrectly said that Market Drayton's Natwest bank has closed. The branch is scheduled for closure, but Natwest has committed to keeping it open until a banking hub opens in the town.
Cash Access UK has applied for permission to create the hub at the former Lloyds premises on Cheshire Street.
The Lloyds branch closed on November 27 last year - two years after the nearby Barclays branch shut its doors.
The town's Natwest branch is due to close too, although the company has committed to keeping it open until a banking hub opens in the town.
Plans for the new banking hub were submitted in late October. A design and access statement says the proposed changes to the vacant bank will be "minimal", with the shopfront retained and upgraded with new paint and signage.
