Since last Thursday when the letters breaking this bad news started arriving with local TSB customers, I have been contacted by many residents upset and concerned at the loss of the last Perth Road bank branch.
The TSB's Perth Road Branch is extremely well-used, always busy and has long-standing professional and friendly staff. The loss of the Perth Road TSB would be a great loss to the West End. It comes less than two years after the loss of the Royal Bank Perth Road Branch.
Last Thursday, I wrote to the local manager of TSB outlining the case for keeping this vital branch and seeking a meeting to discuss the matter further. I will do all I can to persuade TSB to reconsider and have urged all constituents who have contacted me to contact TSB also making their concerns clear.
