Town with no banks to get its own community banking hub

August 08, 2025

Poulton-le-Fylde is to become the latest town in Lancashire to benefit from a new banking hub.

- by Richard Hunt

LINK, the UK's Cash Access and ATM network, has confirmed the new facility will be coming to the market town.

Poulton has been recommended for the hub following a community request with the support of Andrew Snowden, MP for Fylde.

Locals say the amenity is desperately needed because there are now no bank branches left in the town. To date, LINK has recommended 232 banking hubs across the UK.

Banking hubs are shared banking spaces, similar to a traditional bank branch, but available to all banking customers. The hub will provide a counter service operated by Post Office employees, enabling customers to withdraw and deposit cash, pay bills and carry out regular transactions.
