A bank has confirmed it will be permanently closing a branch after having just 35 people who regularly banked there.

Barclays in Chislehurst High Street will close its doors for good on May 3.

The bank said that only 35 customers regularly used the branch as the only way to do their banking.

It also revealed that 89% of those who use the branch also bank by using its online services.

It was announced late last year that the branch in Sittingbourne High Street will be closing in March, after having only 13 customers regularly use the branch as their only way to do their banking.

A total of 142 of the bank's branches shut in the country last year, as more people turn to online and mobile banking.

The bank announced it will be offering a support van and pop-up banks where customers can get help and advice.

Cash and cheque deposits, balance checks and cash withdrawals can be done at post offices.
