That the Parliament welcomes the opening of a new banking hub in Cowdenbeath; notes that the hub will provide a range of traditional bank counter services, including cash withdrawals and deposits, cheque deposits and utility bill payments; further notes that the hub will support community banker services from Barclays, TSB and Royal Bank of Scotland; understands that the hub is currently situated on a temporary basis within the 99 Market Place store, 315-317 High St, Cowdenbeath, before eventually moving to a permanent home in the former TSB building at 92 High Street, Cowdenbeath, and recognises what it considers to be the importance of such a facility to those within communities who, it understands, for a variety of reasons, have been excluded and isolated by the shift towards electronic banking and what it sees as the disappearance of local branch banking services.
