MHK says it's sad, but town is facing bigger concerns
An MHK says the closure of Barclays in Castletown is sad, but there are bigger issues facing the town.
The bank branch, which is only open three days a week, will be closing in February.
Arbory, Castletown and Malew member Tim Glover says only "teens" of businesses or personal accounts are held there.
While admitting having only one physical bank in the south is concerning, he says there are other problems needing attention:
'Little data available' on number of employees earning the minimum wage on the IOM
Treasury minister says no assessments of businesses or costs have been carried out since October
Jurby Commissioners 'getting nowhere' with DOI fixing parish's pavements
Local authority says some paths are 'hazardous'
Motorists urged to respect 20mph limit in or around school zones
