Details of a banking hub representing five banks that will replace a former branch in a County Durham town have been confirmed - here's all the details.
Newton Aycliffe is set to benefit from a brand-new Banking Hub which will allow customers who use five major banks to find help in one place rather than in separate branches which have closed.
The planned hub in Newton Aycliffe will be located at Unit B3, The Parade which was previously a TSB bank branch.

The Hub, when it opens, will offer a counter service operated by the Post Office, where customers of all major banks and building societies can carry out regular cash transactions.
It will also offer a Community Banker service where customers can talk to their own banking provider about more complicated issues, Monday to Friday, 9:00am - 5:00pm.
Representatives for each bank will be at the hub with the following schedule:
Monday: Barclays
Tuesday: HSBC
Wednesday: Lloyds
Thursday: NatWest
Friday: Santander
Paul Howell, MP for Sedgefield said: "This is great news for the residents of Newton Aycliffe, many of whom rely on access to these important banking services.
"I was delighted to engage with the delivery team from the day the closure was announced. For the residents of Newton Aycliffe this should prove to be a hugely positive step with different banks now delivering face to face services again.
"I look forward to seeing the positive impact the Hub will have and I am delighted that contracts are signed, and delivery is imminent."
