Do You Support a Banking Hub for Thame?

A group of residents and businesses are calling for a banking hub in Thame after an automatic LINK assessment determined the town should only be provided with an Automated Deposit Scheme (ADS) machine once the last bank (Lloyds) has closed.
ADS machines provide limited cash deposit facilities only, whereas a banking hub would provide regular counter services, with each of the major banks allocated a specific day in the hub.

Thame has been assessed as an urban location with a 1-mile radius. This fails to take into account the town’s rural hinterland, including villages such as Haddenham, Chinnor, Towersey and Chearsley, which depend on Thame for many of their needs, including banking services.

If you support the campaign for a banking hub in Thame, please complete this survey.
