  • Juniper Green and Baberton Mains Community Council
    Impact of Bank Closures Economy Jobs and Fair Work Committee - Tuesday 29 May Professor Cliff Beevers Juniper Green and Baberton Mains Community Council 1. Impact 1.1 Has there been an impact of bank closures on the wider local economy and community? Yes, an established business for many years in Juniper Green is the fishmonger. He tells me that his takings are down 15 -20% since the bank closed. He added that his colleague, another fishmonger, near Golden Acre, where two banks closed, has takings down 20%- 25%. The population of the villages of the upper Water of Leith, some 20,000 citizens, represent the size of a small town. When RBS left Juniper Green last year it was effectively the last bank in town. In a UK Government briefing paper [1] the research mapped bank branch closures against the British Bankers Association postcode lending data, They showed that “bank branch closures dampen SME lending growth by 63% on average in postcodes that lose a bank branch. This figures grows to 104% for postcodes that lose their last-bank-in- town. On average, postcodes that lose their last-bank-in-town receive almost £1.6million less lending over the course of a year - a significant and damaging drop in funding.” But, lending is not the only story; shopping footfall decreases and small traders also suffer lost revenue. An important point here is that these small traders like the fishmonger, butcher and greengrocers have a short supply chain so when the snow came suddenly on two recent occasions it was these small traders that were providing food for their respective communities when the so-called “big beasts” of retail had lorries stuck on the various motorways.
