Kinross Branch Community Engagement We’re closing our Kinross branch on 20 May 2020.

You can view this at tsb.co.uk/our-branches We’ve also written to customers who use this branch, to let them know about the changes. We always let customers know about these changes at least 12 weeks before the branch closure takes place. This makes sure we have time to talk with them about banking options, especially for customers who require additional support with the closure. As part of our Branch Review we’ve also talked with the local community about the impact of the closure and how we can help customers with this change. This Community Engagement summary explains who we contacted in the local community and any feedback we received about the closure.

Scottish Conservative By-Election Win
Scottish Conservative by-election win May I begin this newsletter by extending my warmest congratulations to our new councillor in Clackmannanshire East, Denis Coyne. Denis won on first preferences with no need for any “transfer” calculations that often have to happen under the single transferable vote system and he increased the Scottish Conservative vote by just under 10%. Denis and his wife Isobel have lived in Dollar for many years and during that time they have established a very high profile within so many different local groups and it was clear that they were very highly respected. The by-election was supposed to happen last March (when the photograph below was taken) but it was cancelled at the last minute. Denis however, and the team led by Alexander Stewart MSP, never stopped campaigning on local issues right throughout 2020 and he fully deserves his win. He will make an excellent councillor and I wish him every success. Perth City South and Perth City North Members will see below the results of both the Perth City South and Perth City North by- elections held last Thursday. We did not win in either case but both of our excellent candidates, Andy Chan and Aziz Rehman returned very credible results and l want to thank them both for the outstanding work they put in over a long campaign. I also want to to thank Caroline Shiers and James Tweedie. The Liberals took the Perth City South seat from the SNP (very good news for the Unionist vote!) and the SNP held Perth City North as expected.
