A bank in Swindon town centre will be closing its doors this month. 

Barclays Bank on Regent Street will be shutting to customers for refurbishment later this month.

It has put a poster up in the window to inform them of the upcoming closure and has advised them to go elsewhere during the ten-day period it will be closed. 

The notice says: "We're sorry but we'll be closed from 12 noon on Monday, August 12, and we will reopen on Thursday, August 22. 

"During that time you can withdraw or pay in cash, pay in cheques, and check your balance at any Post Office, or use any LINK cash matching to withdraw money and check your balance."

Customers are then directed to the nearest Post Office, which is also on Regent Street and the nearest cash machine, which is at the Santander on the same street as well. 

It also informs Swindon customers where they can find their nearest Barclays branches, both of which are some distance away in either Bath on Southgate Street or Cheltenham High Street.
