Will the disused cashpoints at two now closed Brigg town centre banks be removed and these parts of the buildings be restored to how they were before the ATMs were installed?
That question was asked by Coun Jane Kitching during the July meeting of Brigg Town Council's Planning & Environment Committee in the Angel Suite.
The HSBC and NatWest branches, in the Market Place, have both closed, with their ATMs taken out of use.
The former banks occupy prominent locations within the conservation area.
No alternative use has been found for either - so far.
North Lincolnshire Council, as the local planning authority, oversees conservation areas and listed buildings.
Brigg's branch of HSBC closed in June 2017.
Natwest shut its Brigg premises in June 2018.
However, it has provided a community banker for the Brigg area to advise and assist customers.
More and more people these days are choosing to use internet banking, which does not require visits to traditional branches. Many bank premises are closing across the UK as a result.
