The Metro ran a feature on the town of Burslem in Staffordshire, ‘where all the free cash machines have been taken away by banks’.

A series of banks, including Nationwide, NatWest and Lloyds, have closed over the last three years leaving only cash machines that charge between 95p and £3.50 to withdraw money. Business owners and shoppers in Burslem have said the lack of free cash machines has made things ‘very difficult’.
