🎉 Exciting news for Ystradgynlais! After more than two years without a permanent bank, the community has finally welcomed a brand new banking hub 🎊
The last branch closed its doors back in 2023, leaving locals in a lurch. But thanks to relentless campaigning by community leaders and local lawmakers, residents now have access to essential banking services right in town.
David Chadwick, MP for Brecon, Radnor, and Cwm Tawe, officially opened the facility at 14 Commercial Street, saying, “Securing this hub is a major win for ensuring our towns stay connected and thrive. We must ensure facilities like these are protected.”
The hub is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Here’s the banking schedule:
– Monday: Barclays
– Tuesday: Awaiting confirmation
– Wednesday: Lloyds
– Thursday: HSBC
– Friday: Halifax
Jane Dodds, a member of the Senedd, added her voice to the celebrations, stating, “Access to banking is not a luxury but a necessity, especially for older residents, small businesses, and those reliant on cash. This hub will have a lasting impact.”
This victory underscores the importance of community action and pressure in safeguarding vital services. Here’s to more positive changes for Ystradgynlais! 💪💼
