Bank and Building Society Branches Across Bradford District During Covid-19 MAY 2020 Contents Bank and Building Society branches across Bradford District during Covid-19 MAY 2020 Contents Foreword 2 Methodology 3 Summary of Findings 4 The National Picture 6 Bradford in Context 8 Constituency Level Reports 9 Bradford East 10 Bradford South 11 Bradford West 12 Keighley 14 Shipley 16 Dataset 18 References 23 1 foreword The Green Party believe that the banking system is failing to support the most vulnerable in our society. We accept that technological innovation has drastically changed the banking industry with more people than ever before using online, mobile or telephone banking to complete many of their day to day banking activities. However, physical bank and building society branches are a vital lifeline to many elderly, vulnerable and rural customers. Many self-employed people and SMEs also rely on physical branches to provide cash banking facilities and face to face advice. Over the last twenty-five years bank and building society branches have closed at a staggering rate. The research we have conducted has shown that many areas of Bradford District have significantly less coverage of physical branches than the regional and national average. In fact, Bradford South is one of only eight parliamentary constituencies in the country where there is only one bank branch. The coronavirus crisis of 2020 has forced many of us to change our day to day activities and whilst banking has been identified as a key activity by the UK government, many banks have temporarily closed branches and nearly all have significantly reduced opening hours. This has accelerated the use of digital banking but it is the most vulnerable in our society who continue to need access to branches. There is already discusion that this sudden uptake in digital banking could accelerate branch closures. 2 Methodology The purpose of this report is to investigate the coverage of banks and building societies across Bradford District and then identify the impact of temporary branch closures on residents. To produce this report, the branch locator tools for nine of the largest retail bank brands and three building societies with a branch network in the UK. These are: Banks HSBC Lloyds Bank (excluding Halifax) Halifax TSB Natwest / RBS Barclays Santander Yorkshire Bank (part of Virgin Money) The Co-operative Bank Building Societies Nationwide Yorkshire Building Society Skipton Building Society In all cases with the exception of Lloyds Bank and Halifax (where their branch locator tools were not active) the branch locator tools of each institution were used. Each institution’s website was used to identify any temporary branch closures. This data was then compiled to produce the total number of branches in each UK Parliamentary constituency in Bradford District. 3 Summary of findings There are currently 37 bank branches and 11 building society branches across Bradford District. Prior to the coronavirus crisis, bank and building society branch coverage across Bradford District was below national average in four out of five constituencies (Keighley being the exception). During the 2020 coronavirus situation, all banks have reduced opening hours and as of 4th May 2020 no bank or building society branches across Bradford are open on Saturday or Sunday. As of 4th May 2020, four bank branches are temporarily closed (1 x Santander - Wibsey; 3 x Barclays - Bingley, Manningham and Shipley) In normal circumstances, the Keighley constituency is the best served constituency with 14 bank and 6 building society branches - 20 in total). This equates to one branch per 4,875 residents. The Bradford South constituency is the worst served constituency with only one bank branch (Santander - Wibsey) for it’s 105,870 residents.

Total number of branches per constituency 4 There are three bank branches earmarked for permanant closure, one in Bradford West (Barclays in Manningham) and two in Shipley (Barclays in Bingley and TSB in Shipley). Taking into account current temporary branch closures, there has been a drop in the number of bank and building societies available for residents in the Bradford West and Shipley constituencies. As of 25th March there has been no branch or building society available for residents in Bradford South.

Total number of branches open per constituency as of 4th May 2020 5 The national picture In response to the coronavirus crisis, banks and building societies have temporarily closed branches and significantly reduced opening hours. Both bank and building societies have asked customers to only visit branches to complete “essential transactions”. The number of banks and building societies in the UK has been the source of significant focus over the last 25 years. On 30th January 2020, a briefing paper (CBP08570) was produced for the House of Commons to look into this issue. The paper identified that in 2019 there were 10,405 bank or building society branches in the UK. This was broken down to 8,525 bank branches and 1,880 building society branches. The number of bank branches in the UK has been falling since the mid-1990s. However, the number of building society branches has been broadly steady - 0% 10% 20% East Wales London Scotland N.

North East South East North West South West UK Average East Midlands West Midlands West Yorkshire & the Humber Yorkshire Figure 3. % change in the number of branches, 2012 to 2019 (source ONS) 6 although this has started to increase in recent years due to several significant mergers of building societies - particularly in Yorkshire. Between the years 2012 and 2019, the total number of bank and building society branches in the UK has fallen by 22%. The Yorkshire & the Humber region has seen the second highest number of bank branch closures with 25% closing between 2012 and 2019. 7 Bradford in context The national statistics look at the total number of banks and building societies per 10,000 people as an indicator of how well an area is served. The national average is 1.6 branches per 10,000 people with the Yorkshire and the Humber region being slightly below average at 1.4 branches per person. Total no.

Total number of branches per 10,000 residents This data shows that even prior to the coronavirus crisis, the coverage of banks in Bradford District as a whole is significantly lower than the national and regional average. At a constituency level, four of the five constituencies are below regional and national average with only the Keighley constituency being above. This will reduce further when planned branch closures take place. 8 Constituency level reports 9 Bradford east Constituency Population: 119,270 The wards in this constituency are: Bolton and Undercliffe, Bowling and Barkerend, Bradford Moor, Eccleshill, Idle and Thackley and Little Horton Total Number of bank branches: 2 Total Number of building society branches: 0 Number of residents per branch: 59,635 Bank Branches: Lloyds Bank 983 Leeds Rd, Bradford, BD3 7ND Natwest 151 New Line, Greengates, Bradford, BD10 0BT 10 Bradford South Constituency Population: 105,870 The wards in this constituency are: Great Horton, Queensbury, Royds, Tong, Wibsey, and Wyke.

  • Interim Results Announcement 2019
    BASIS OF PRESENTATION CYBG PLC (the ‘Company’), together with its subsidiary undertakings (which together comprise the ‘Group’), operate under the Clydesdale Bank, Yorkshire Bank, B and Virgin Money brands. It offers a range of banking services for both retail and business customers through retail branches, business banking centres, direct and online channels, and brokers. This release covers the results of the Group for the six months ended 31 March 2019. Statutory basis: Statutory information is set out on pages 43 to 79. The IFRS 9 accounting standard replaced IAS 39 (‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’), introducing changes to the classification and measurement of financial instruments and the impairment of financial assets. Virgin Money adopted IFRS 9 on 1 January 2018 and CYBG on 1 October 2018. Pro forma results: On 15 October 2018, the Company acquired all the voting rights in Virgin Money Holdings (UK) plc (Virgin Money) by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the UK Companies Act 2006, with the transaction being accounted for as an acquisition of Virgin Money. We believe that it is helpful to also provide additional information which is more readily comparable with the historic results of the combined businesses. Therefore we have also prepared Pro forma results for the Group as if CYBG PLC and Virgin Money had always been a Combined Group, in order to assist in explaining trends in financial performance by showing a full 6 months performance for the Combined Group for both the current period and prior period, as well as a full 12 month performance of the Combined Group for the most recent year end results.

  • Estimated Dementia Diagnostic Rate Across Bradford District
    Public Health: Knowledge and Intelligence Date produced: 13/12/2019 Data source: GP population 2019 Dementia diagnostic rates across Bradford District Summary This intelligence report updates dementia diagnostic rates by practice and community partnerships for Bradford District. Data is displayed as a diagnostic rate (%), which is the observed number of dementia patients divided by the expected number (based on national prevalence rates). The % of total registered patients that have a dementia diagnosis is also displayed for Bradford City, Bradford District and AWC CCGs separately. Practices that have statistically significantly lower dementia diagnosis rates than both England and their CCG are: Bradford District CCG: City CCG: Sunnybank Little Horton Lane Dr Gilkar Thornton & Denholme Wibsey & Queensbury Wilsden Airedale, Wharfedale, Craven CCG Addingham surgery Oakworth Medical Practice As this analysis is based on a statistical model, possible reasons for low diagnosis rates may be over estimation of expected dementia patients or local service factors (e.g. additional care home patients registered with a practice). One community partnerships also have a significantly low dementia rate: South 8 (Clayton and Fairweather Green, Thornton and Allerton, Queensbury, Wyke) Key actions that practices can routinely undertake to increase dementia diagnosis rates are provided below. 1 Dementia diagnosis rate Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven CCG Benchmarks set nationally ≥ 66.7% (significantly)similar to 66.7%< 66.7% (significantly) (Observed
