Two local bank branches will close next month.

The high street branches of Halifax in New Malden and Weybridge will close on August 8 and 9 respectively.

Lloyds Banking Group say the closures are due to fewer branch transactions and a move towards online and telephone banking.

The bank announced they are closing 100 branches across the UK, including 54 Lloyds branches, 24 Bank of Scotland and 22 Halifax branches in April. It is believed the move will result in around 200 job losses.
