HSBC will begin work on "refreshing" its Oswestry branch on Friday, May 3.

Work will include some new signage, the installation of new cash machines and some internal building work.

The branch, on Cross Street, is expecting to reopen almost three weeks later, on May 23.

Daniella Rudd, HSBC UK’s Local Director, said: “We continue to invest in our branch network to make our customers’ experience banking with us a good one. We are pleased that our Oswestry branch is getting a refresh, with some painting, new signage and the installation of new state-of-the-art cash machines, which we are excited about.

We will also be hosting Community Pop Up Events at Oswestry Library, Arthur St, Oswestry SY11 1JN, where we will be on hand to support customers.
