THE SHOCK closure of banks in Mallaig and Kyle will be raised today (Thursday) for the second consecutive week in the Scottish Parliament chamber by Kate Forbes.
The MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch has secured a member’s debate on the closures through a motion that has been overwhelmingly backed by more than 40 cross-party MSPs.
In her constituency, branches in Aviemore, Beauly, Kyle and Mallaig have been earmarked by the Royal Bank of Scotland for closure, but Ms Forbes is keen to increase pressure on RBS.
