The past couple of months has bought news of banks closing in Frome, causing great concern for many people in the community. At the chamber we too feel your frustration. For the general public and for the businesses locally who require that regular face to face interaction, those who operate with large amounts of cash and of course for new businesses starting out and wanting some advice from their bank business manager it is deeply frustrating.
Our Treasurer, Nigel recently spoke about the situation on BBC Radio Somerset and how we can explore a solution to work for Frome going forward. Listen here at around 2 hours 35 into the programme.
Finally, we wanted to share this questionnaire on Frome’s banking situation from a new CIC, Prosper Frome to help gather feedback on your challenges and needs as a business.
