Ardara traders to host public meeting on local bank’s closure

The Ardara Town Traders are to take steps to try and save the local Ulster Bank branch from closure.

The bank is one of 22 around the country earmarked to close in a cost-cutting plan by management.

Staff at the Raphoe branch have also been told their branch is to shut.

Traders in Ardara have organised an extraordinary public meeting on Monday night at 8 pm to try and find a resolution to what they described as “the disgraceful proposed closure of our one and only Ulster Bank.”

A spokesman said “We urge everybody to attend as this effects us all..Let’s save our branch.With so many people effected not alone in the parish but all over, everybody is welcome.”
