THE first withdrawal of cash from a much-needed cashpoint has been donated to a Teesdale charity.
Joanne Gill, the branch manager for Barclays Bank in Middleton-in-Teesdale handed over £300 cash to local MP Derek Foster when he unveiled the cashpoint.
Barclays is the only bank in the village and for many years, residents have been asking for a cashpoint to be installed. After unveiling the cashpoint, Mr Foster thanked Barclays for listening to the concerns of his constituents. He chose to donate the cash to the Teesdale Carers Association.
Barclays region liaison manger Karen Swainston said: "This was the first withdrawal from the machine and we decided it would be nice to give it to charity."
