Banking in Sedgefield
There has been much critical comment about the loss of local banking services since Barclays closed in May. Businesses and individuals are inconvenienced by it and for some people, dealing with everyday financial transactions is hard. Sedgefield Development Trust is still prepared to contribute to an initiative to bring banking facilities back to Sedgefield, in co-operation with the North East First Credit Union and others.
