I rise to present a petition against the closure of the NatWest branch in Ferryhill, which will leave it without any bank branches whatsoever. I would like to put on record my thanks to Hannah Smalley of Ferryhill, who helped to compile over 1,000 signatures in opposition to the closure.

The petition states:

The petition of residents of the United Kingdom,

Declares that NatWest Ferryhill is due to close on the 4th June 2018 and this will have a detrimental effect to the local community.

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to take into account the concerns of petitioners and take whatever steps they can to halt the planned closure of NatWest Ferryhill branch.

And the petitioners remain, etc.

[P002149]
