The Barclays van outside Morrisons in Carterton is set to shut after a gradual drop in customer usage, the town council has announced. Instead customers will now have to travel six miles to the nearest Barclays branch in Witney. In February 2023, Barclays announced nearly 100 branch closures throughout 2024 and 2025, in addition to the 177 branches it closed in 2023. Earlier this year bosses at Barclays announced plans to reopen more high-street branches, in a dramatic U-turn for the bank. Over the past decade, thousands of high-street bank branches have shut their doors across the country, including those belonging to Barclays, leaving just 206 still operating throughout the UK.
