Two banking giants plan to close 86 sites this year - many of which are in the West Midlands. Bank closures have become a routine part of life on the high street, and that looks set to continue in 2025.

Lloyds Bank and Halifax alone are set to close 86 sites in the UK. This comes as more than 6,000 high street banks and building society branches have closed in just over a decade.

In the West Midlands specifically, we will be losing eight branches in a matter of months. Lloyds branches in Alcester, Kitts Green, Kenilworth and Warwick - all in the first half of this year.

We will be losing just as many Halifax branches. Among those to to are Shirley, which shut this week, Tamworth, Telford and Stratford-upon-Avon.

This has become a routine trends as customers have switched online. They are increasingly turning apps to manage their finances while banks and building societies look for ways to cut costs.

NatWest Group has closed the highest number of branches, with Lloyds Banking Group tailing behind. Here is the full list of banks shutting in 2025, as well as their closure dates:

North Korea's suicide soldiers pose new challenge for Ukraine in war with Russia
After a battle in Russia's snowy western region of Kursk this week, Ukrainian special forces scoured the bodies of more than a dozen slain North Korean enemy soldiers. But it is among mounting evidence from the battlefield, intelligence reports and testimonies of defectors that some North Korean soldiers are resorting to extreme measures as they support Russia's three-year war with Ukraine. "Self-detonation and suicides: that's the reality about North Korea," said Kim, a 32-year-old former North Korean soldier who defected to the South in 2022, requesting he only be identified by his surname due to fears of reprisals against his family left in the North.
