In May 2024, TSB announced plans to close 36 UK branches, including its Buxton branch on Spring Gardens. The bank lists 10 September 2024 as the Buxton closure date. The figures and responses below are from the original 2024 announcement.

The bank said approximately 250 jobs would be cut, primarily in fraud and central operations and among staff working at branches earmarked for closure.

The closures were originally scheduled between September 2024 and May 2025; TSB scheduled Buxton for 10 September 2024.

Unite called the cuts a “grave mistake” and urged TSB to reconsider its branch closure plans, citing concerns about fraud support and access to local branches. Read the contemporary report.

In its Buxton branch review, TSB said over 95% of its transactions were made outside branches, including through digital channels. This was a bank-wide figure rather than a Buxton-specific figure.

The original announcement listed these 27 branches for closure in 2024:

  • Alloa
  • Bedworth
  • Birmingham, Pype Hayes
  • Bridlington
  • Buxton
