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:
Firearms amnesty comes into effect
Chickenpox jab to become part of routine childhood vaccinations
Hark! Claims school didn't allow Christmas carols to be sung "rumour" and "hearsay", says minister
Education minister defends attempt to reopen schools for a half day on snow day
