HARPENDEN COMMUNITY BANKING HUB

Harpenden Town Council has been exploring the opening of a Community Banking Hub to help address the impact that the loss of banks has in the Town.

A Banking Hub is a place where the public and businesses have access to face-to-face counter service, with the same banking facilities that the high street banks offer. It is a dedicated and appropriate banking space, open to customers of all retail banks, situated in the centre of town and accessible to all members of the public.

Banking Hubs are part of a national scheme with a number of locations having already established a pilot or permanent Hub.

Across the country, High Streets have seen many changes over recent years and Harpenden’s is no different. One of the biggest changes is the reduction in banks and the services that they offer.

This year HTC plan to apply for Harpenden to be included in the scheme. You can read further information and updates about the HTC’s Banking Hub initiative by visiting www.harpenden.gov.uk/banking-hub

Purse dipping continues to be one of the neighbourhood priorities for St Albans District. Plain- clothed and high-visibility police officers regularly carry out patrols to help prevent and detect purse dippers operating in the City Centre shops and market stalls.

In February, police arrested five dippers in just two days thanks to Safer Neighbourhood Team officers working with the Council’s CCTV operators.

To help reduce the chances of your possessions being stolen, you should keep your bag zipped up with the zip facing you. Try not to withdraw large sums of cash, don’t leave your mobile phone in you back pocket and keep an eye on elderly or vunerable people
