Lloyds Banking Group has announced plans to close 56 branches across the UK.
The decision will affect 31 Lloyds Bank branches plus 10 Halifax sites and 15 Bank of Scotland locations which are also part of the Lloyds group.
Closures will take place between April and October this year.
The group said the closures were in response to changing customer behaviour and the move towards online banking.
Banking union Accord said the move was expected to see staff numbers cut by fewer than 80 with many redeployed to other branches.
Lloyds said it remained committed to having the largest branch network in the UK, adding that customers could also use the Post Office to access banking, as well as mobile branches that visit rural communities.
It has cut 569 branches over the past two years according to consumer group Which?
