Barclays closes Woburn Sands branch with only nine regular customers

    The Woburn Sands Barclays Branch closed its doors yesterday (April 18th).

    It was reported by the BBC that a spokesperson said only nine customers used the branch regularly and a quarter of its customers had been using other branches over the last 12 months.

    Frosts Garden Centre will now home a limited cashless, part-time service, Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays from 9.00 to 14.30.

    The Woburn Sands Post Office also remains open.

    The bank announced plans earlier this year to close 15 more branches on top of the 11 sites already announced, taking its total of closures in 2023 to 26.

    The closure leaves Milton Keynes residents with one branch located in Midsummer Place.

    Last year, MKFM reported that the Barclays Queensway branch was closing, with its doors shut for the last time in September, a branch in Flitwick also closed its doors last week.

    A Barclays spokesperson said: “Our customers’ behaviour has changed significantly in recent years, with the majority choosing online banking. As we adapt, we are closing less well used branches whilst investing in brilliant customer service and digital technology.

    “We are maintaining our community presence with alternative options for customers who still require in-person support. This includes our network of Barclays Local sites in libraries and community centres, bank pods and mobile vans, our cashback without purchase service, Shared Banking Hubs and everyday banking at the Post Office.”
