Thank you to everyone who joined me outside NatWest Norbury today. Since I launched my petition it has received almost 𝟓𝟎𝟎 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 from local residents and businesses who are concerned about the impact of this proposed closure on the local community.

I have now written to NatWest’s Chief Executive emphasising the strength of feeling on this issue from the local community and ask them to rethink this closure.
