Last year, Barclays announced it would close 132 branches, many of which have since closed.

Several major banks, including NatWest (NWG.L), Lloyds (LLOY.L) and Halifax are also shutting down branches.

With the latest closure announcement from Barclays, high street banks have set out plans to shut 228 sites since the start of this year.

Data has shown a decrease in people using their local branches, with changes in habits due to the pandemic thought to be a factor.

COVID-19 accelerated how customers use banking services, with many now having switched to online banking.

Barclays recently said in a statement: "As visits to branches continue to fall, we need to adapt to provide the best service for all our customers.

"Where there is no longer enough demand to support a branch, we maintain an in-person presence though our Barclays Local network, live in over 200 locations, based in libraries, town halls, mobile vans and our new banking pods.
