THE Kendal branch of the Marsden Building Society, in Market Place, is to close on May 20 following a review of branches and agencies.

Members affected by the changes have been informed by a letter, which also explained the reasoning and the ways in which customers can continue to operate their savings and mortgage accounts, either remotely or through any other branch of the society.

Agencies in Lancaster and Morecambe are also to close.
