STOP LLOYDS BANK IN BROCKENHURST FROM CLOSING

As an account holder I haven't been contacted to be advised of this closure. I was told by a local taxi driver and had to google to find out about it and so this petition. If the branch's own customers with Brockenhurst addresses aren't being told in advance then this petition must surely be the tip of the iceberg of people affected. When the HSBC closed a couple of years ago I only found out when I got to the branch to pay a bill although I was a regular customer of the branch with a Brockenhurst address. Like many people I don't change account holding branch when I move house as the branch doesn't make any difference these days. I tried using phone banking but the third time I tried to move money between my own accounts I was told I had to go to a branch "because of fraud prevention". How's that going to work if all the branches have closed?
