Have you visited the new Banking Hub at 47 High Street Thornbury yet?
Helen Ball, Mayor of Thornbury, said 'With the loss of traditional banks, the hub offers a much needed service for all our residents. I visited the hub on its first day, withdrew some money from the cash machine and had a chat with the friendly staff. The premises is smart, modern and easy to use. I encourage everyone to visit and use this great facility!’
