A BANK in the centre of Stroud is set to reduce its weekly opening hours. 

Lloyds Bank - based at Rowcroft - is set to close on Tuesdays as of July 9. 

The bank says that they have tested ways of working and will be moving colleagues to where the greatest demand is. 

Colleagues who normally work at the branch on a Tuesday will now be supporting customers through other channels, the bank adds. ​

"From 9th July, the Stroud Rowcroft branch will be open on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays between 9.30am and 4.30pm and on Saturdays between 9am and 1pm.

"Customers can bank with us through our mobile app or online 24/7, and can use the local Post Office or alternative branches."
