Calls for Narberth to have an ATM in High Street have been made by town councillors this week.

Following the closure of the town’s NatWest, the latest bank to shut its door, the town has been left without a cash point in its centre.

“Everyone is jumping about town looking for a cash point,” said Clr.?Glynis Meredydd.

“There is nowhere in High Street to get cash,” she told her colleagues at Tuesday night’s monthly meeting of the town council.

“We all know about the plastic free Narberth campaign, but now it looks like we have cash free Narberth too.

“It’s very sad when we have to say to people we don’t have a cash machine. It’s wrong. the town shouldn’t have been left like this.

“I know there is one at CK’s, but it’s very difficult to tell people to go there when you are driving them away from the High?Street. It’s nonsensical I think.

Added Clr. Sue Rees: “It was chaos in town on Saturday. Shopkeepers were all scrabbling about for change. People couldn’t spend in the shops because they couldn’t take out any more and the card machines were so slow. There’s got to be somewhere in town a cash machine can be sited, they don’t take up much room.”

Clr. David Norcross suggested the council write to both BT?and Link about the possibility of obtaining a cash machine for the centre of town.

“Link say they are looking to rural communities to install cash machines because they need them now the banks are shutting.”
