Success in FSB Awards

The Council and the Bexleyheath BID were among the winners at the inaugural All-England FSB Local Government Awards.

They were recognised in the ‘Future Ready’ category for Greater London for a high street recovery strategy and delivery plan that included monthly night markets in Bexleyheath town centre.

“We believe that our town centres and our small businesses are a vital part of the local community, so we are very proud to receive this recognition from an organisation representing small businesses”.

Councillor Cafer Munur, Cabinet Member for Growth

Bank hub to open in Welling

Welling is set to gain a new style banking hub after Councillor Teresa O’Neill OBE successfully made the town’s case to the Access to Cash Action Group and Link, the ATM network.

Around 26 bank hubs have so far opened across the UK to improve people’s access to cash, following the loss of bank branches from local high streets.

The hubs operate in a similar way to bank branches, but their services are shared. Banks provide staff on rotation, with trained specialists from individual banks available on different days.

“I’m delighted that Welling will benefit from one of the first of the new banking hubs after we made the case to the team rolling out the scheme. Branches in the town have unfortunately closed and a hub serving all the banks will make a big difference to local people.” Councillor Teresa O’Neill OBE
