| Notice Annual Parochial Church Meeting Monday 27 April 7.00 pm in Church all welcome Important information from John Borda The closure of Lloyds will mean that there are no more banks in Newmarket. This has triggered a process to install a “banking hub”, used by all the banks for largely the same functions as they used their bank premises. Counter services are still available at the Post Office, and will also be offered at the hub, with the addition of other services by banks on a rotating basis. The plan is to open it before Lloyds closes. More info will be available when a suitable property has been selected.
