Lloyds Bank on Devizes' Market Place in Wiltshire closed on 21 October, leaving the town centre without in-person banking.

Lloyds Bank on Devizes' Market Place in Wiltshire closed its doors on Wednesday, 21 October. The closure leaves the town centre with one fewer option for in-person banking services. A week after closing, the ATM has been boarded up and frosting has been applied to the ground-floor windows as the site is wound down.

Wiltshire Council granted listed building consent on 19 October, allowing the bank to remove redundant signs, branding and ATMs from the building. Customers expressed regret at the closure. Jane, 79, and Sandra, 74, described it as 'so sad' and said it would negatively affect the older generation. Sue Ross, in her late 50s, said she and her husband are 'online mostly' but were still 'sad to see it go', adding: 'We've had some really good advice in the branch. It's easy to go in and speak to someone.'
