Adrian opens local bank and helps raise money for the

British Heart Foundation

A high street bank is celebrating its official re-opening since undergoing a major refurbishment.

The Barclays branch in West Bromwich was officially opened by Adrian Bailey MP.

The refurbishment has seen a number of improvements made including a kiosk machine that will enable customers to view their accounts, arrange transfers on their own accounts and to obtain statements. There has also been a service phone installed for customer use.

Adrian Bailey MP said: "It is good to see a bank continuing to invest in its branch network which is an important part of community life. I am delighted to be involved with the official re-opening."

Staff at the West Bromwich branch celebrated the opening by inviting customers in for coffee and cakes. During the day, funds were raised for the British Heart Foundation which have been matched by Barclays.
