I’m disappointed to hear that the Barclays Local at the Watermark in Ivybridge will be closing on the 27th November 2025.
While Barclays notes that most customers now bank digitally and fewer than 10 people use this service as their only way to speak to the bank, I know this change will have a real impact on local residents who rely on in-person banking.
I will be requesting a meeting with Barclays to understand the full impact of this decision and to discuss what alternatives can be provided to support those affected. If you are affected by this closure or have any concerns, please do feel free to email me at: rebecca.smith.mp@parliament.uk.
