Lloyds Banking Group: Full list of planned UK Lloyds and Halifax branch closures this year and when they will shut - including in Bishop's Waltham, Hampshire
BRANCHES from across the Lloyd’s Banking Group are set to close.
The group reported a six per cent fall in half-year profits to £3.7 billion, after setting aside £377m amid the rising cost of living and an increasingly uncertain economic outlook.

They added that £95 million of its half-year impairment charge was due to a weaker economic backdrop in the UK as soaring inflation affects consumer spending.
Despite the economic downturn, the bank raised its full-year outlook across performance measures, raising the share price by 4 per cent this morning.
Chief executive Charlie Nunn said: ‘While the world has changed significantly since February, our strategic focus remains clear and disciplined.
‘Our strong financial performance demonstrates the resilience of our business model and customer relationships, and has enabled us to enhance guidance for 2022.’
