RESIDENTS in Camelford can withdraw cash again without charge round the clock, now there is a new ‘hole in the wall’ in the town.

The Post previously reported on the closure of the town’s three banks — Camelford’s branches of Barclays, Lloyds and NatWest all closed last year.

This meant the town was left without a free cash machine — although the Post Office, which offers banking services, was accessible during normal opening hours.

Co-operative Food subsequently applied for planning permission to site an ATM at its branch in the town’s High Street, which was granted last year.

The cash machine has been installed near the entrance to the store.

Town mayor Cllr Rob Rotchell said: “Camelford is a resilient town but the departure of the banks was a blow. But thanks to the Co-op some of those problems have been resolved.

“Camelford is open for business!”
