Lloyds faces anger over BoS branch opening hours
The move to cut hours at a number of branches of Bank of Scotland, including in Bonar Bridge in Sutherland, is being contested by local campaigners who have warned of the possible impact on older customers and tourism.
The Lloyds-owned lender has said it is making the move due to an increase in online banking services and lower footfall at the branches.

Meanwhile, chief executive Antonio Horta-Osorio’s salary is unlikely to be a major bone of contention at the annual meeting, amid a period which has thrown a spotlight on directors’ salaries. His overall pay package fell last year.
