Newmarket Lloyds bank premises in the town’s High Street has been put up for sale

The future of a bank in a Suffolk town centre remains unclear after the premises it leases was put up for sale.

In its latest update Lloyds Bank said they haven’t made any announcement about its Newmarket branch in the town’s High Street.

A spokeswoman for Lloyds said: “If anything were to change, our colleagues and customers would be the first to know.”

However, Lloyds have confirmed from July 15, the Newmarket branch will be closed on a Tuesday.

The bank will be open on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays between 9am - 4pm and on Saturdays between 9am - 1pm.

Earlier this year a proposal to turn the bank into a restaurant or coffee shop was deemed lawful by West Suffolk Council.

At the time Newmarket Town Council said its committee voiced no objection to the proposal, but preferred for the existing bank usage to continue.

Lloyds leases it premises in Newmarket from the owner of the building, currently the trustees of the Carolgate Friendly Society.
