TSB on Poplars Avenue in Orford was permanently shut on Wednesday, May 19. Residents in the area had previously set up a campaign with the aim of reversing the decision to shut the bank, which has been described as a ‘mainstay’. A spokesman for the National Federation of Sub Postmasters said: “This will doubtless be disappointing to TSB’s customers. “However, alternative banking provision is available to local residents at Post Office branches nearby. “Each of these branches offers banking services – including deposits, free cash withdrawals and balance checks, as well as offering face-to-face access to government services, bill payment, foreign currency, travel insurance and, of course, postal services.
A THUG whose punch knocked a teen’s front tooth out and left him with hearing problems has been sentenced to immediate custody. Ethan Moran, who had taken class A drugs beforehand, launched the attack on a 16-year-old boy after disapproving of who he had entered a relationship with.

Despite his defence asking for a community order by way of punishment, Liverpool Crown Court ruled that the only appropriate punishment was immediate custody. Suzanne Payne, prosecuting, explained that for ‘reasons unknown’, the defendant objected to his victim starting a relationship with a 15-year-old girl.
