Dorking yes - Leatherhead going to appeal.
A temporary banking hub will be operating from our Dorking Pippbrook offices from Wednesday 5 March 2025 (for up to 12 months). This temporary hub will be accessible to customers of a number of banks during the working week, from 9am to 5pm. The search for a permanent home in the town is ongoing and is being led by Cash UK.
The Council have appealed LINK’s decision not to recommend a Banking Hub for Leatherhead. The appeal highlights errors in population data and retail data omissions, which undermine the assessment’s reliability and fail to reflect Leatherhead’s needs. They have urged LINK to re-evaluate its findings and address these inconsistencies, as they strongly believe Leatherhead should also be eligible for a Banking Hub.
