It also sets out the banking services and support that will be available to you after this branch has closed. In a second booklet, which will be available from the branch prior to it closing or online at home.barclays/ukbranchclosures, we'll share concerns and feedback from the local community. We'll also detail how we are helping people transition from using the branch with alternative ways to carry out their banking requirements. Here are the main reasons why the West Ealing branch is closing: • The number of transactions has gone down in the previous 24 months, and additionally 89% of our branch customers also use other ways to do their banking such as online and by telephone. • Customers using other ways to do their banking has increased by 21% since 2012. • In the past 12 months, 66% of this branch's customers have been using nearby branches. • We've identified that only 126 customers use this branch exclusively for their banking Proposals to close any branch are made by the Barclays local leadership teams and verified at a national level ahead of any closure announcement. If you have any questions and concerns about these changes then please feel free to get in touch with Steve Day, your Market Director for North West London.

  • After the Cavalcade [PDF]
    My Short Story AFTER THE CAVALCADE The day started bright; but it didn’t start well. I was held up in rush hour/ school run traffic on the way to the station, and Nigel was delayed by a dead train on the line. I reached Paddington Basin long before him and by the time he arrived, I was supping tea onboard the boat Pickle’s Folly was tied to, courtesy of Gerry, an IWA committee member. Once we had boarded our boat and checked it over, Nigel started the engine and we cast off. Easing into the sunshine in Little Venice we headed west but were prevented from entering the Paddington Branch of the canal by a long Black Prince hire boat badly moored at a water point all but blocking the narrow exit. “We won’t be long” we were told as Nigel tried to hold Pickle’s Folly against a strong side wind. The boat was not behaving as she should and by the time the way ahead was clear we were helped to come alongside a CRT workboat by its crew. We cleared a massive tangle of bunting [not ours] and plastic bags from the propeller which made the boat far more responsive! The sun was still shining as we edged past the water point and headed for home. The West Way flyover shaded us for a short while and as we passed under Ladbroke Grove we spotted a Sainsburys store: we stopped to buy more food and drink for our journey. I found it very strange passing over the aqueduct spanning the North Circular Road, because I usually drive below it and completely ignore it.
