Liam Kerr, MSP for North East Scotland Region:
In recent years, Lower Deeside – including Cults, Bieldside, Milltimber, and Peterculter – has lost all of its local bank branches.
The nearest banks are now in Aberdeen, but for many residents – especially older people or those without access to a car – that journey simply isn’t feasible.
Local businesses and residents alike have told me they still rely on in-person banking services. That is why there is a growing demand for a banking hub in Lower Deeside.
LINK, the organisation responsible for making these hubs happen, has so far refused to act. I’m in ongoing dialogue with them, but I need to demonstrate the strength of local support.
Please sign the petition below to help show LINK how vital this service is for Lower Deeside.
