A few weeks ago I used part of my weekly column here in the
Leader, to raise my concerns and frustrations of the decision taken by Barclays Bank to close their Flint Branch in a few months time. This week I will be meeting with Barclays to discuss their proposals and ensure that the voices of our communities are heard, again highlighting the impact their decision will have on elderly and vulnerable individuals, as well as those who rely on public transport. Recent years have seen a decline of high street banks, with branches closing based on the decisions of those who are detached from our communities. Faceless stakeholders who have no interest in our town centres, except what profit they can make from them.
THE future of Knighton’s old library has been resolved after the town council announced the £80,000 purchase of the building. The fate of the library has been a controversial political hot potato locally, with many Knighton residents angered by the town council’s handling of the matter, claiming its purchase would be a waste of public funds and accusing the council of trying to pull the wool over residents’ eyes and conducting business in secret. They even resorted to getting former Brecon and Radnorshire MP and current education minister Kirsty Williams involved. But the town council rubbished these claims, saying they had been “up front and honest” about their intentions from the start.
