Doncaster MP opens permanent banking hub in Doncaster village

Doncaster MP officially opens permanent banking hub in Rossington.

Lee Pitcher, Labour MP for Doncaster East and the Isle of Axholme, has officially opened the new permanent Banking Hub in Rossington, marking a significant milestone for local residents who rely on face-to-face banking services.

Mr Pitcher cut the ribbon at the new site on Friday (1 May), joined by local ward councillors Robert Anderson, Ken Guest and Lee Sammut.

The hub, located in the centre of Rossington just opposite Rossington Market and next to the Miners Mug, is now open on a permanent basis after initially operating out of the Miners Welfare Centre since the end of 2024.

Banking hubs are owned by Cash Access UK and operated by the Post Office.

They offer residents easy access to face-to-face cash and banking services in the heart of their community, with representatives from major banks available on set days each week.

“It is fantastic to see the Banking Hub now in its permanent home in Rossington,” said Mr Pitcher.

“This is something local councillors and I have long supported, and it's great to see it delivered.

“Access to banking services on our doorstep matters. For many residents, being able to speak to someone face to face about their finances makes a real difference, and this hub ensures that remains possible right here in Rossington.”

The hub is open to residents on the following days:

Tuesday — Santander

Wednesday — Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland (Lloyds Banking Group)

Thursday — NatWest

Friday — Barclays

Mr Pitcher added: “I would encourage anyone who needs banking services locally to make use of the hub. It is a real asset for Rossington and another step forward for our community.”
