Dear Mr Wallace,
I refer to your recent email regarding
our depot move in the near future to Cumbernauld.
Though we are always looking for new
opportunities to expand our services, however, we have no plans at the
present time to expand on our current network as we want to try and allow
the existing Cumbernauld network to settle down at the new depot.
I will however, keep your email on file
as part of a future depot review.
Please do not hesitate to contact me
if you would like to discuss this matter in more detail.

Morning Andrew
I
can confirm that the TSB branch in Denny will be closing in early July
as a result of the Church Walk regeneration project and we haven’t found
a suitable replacement site. Please see below for our statement and if
you need anything else, please do let me know.
Many thanks
Claire
"As
a result of the forthcoming regeneration of Denny town centre we have
to close
our Denny branch. While this redevelopment is an exciting opportunity
for Denny, it does not look likely that we will have a replacement for
the current TSB branch.
“We
realise that this may well be unwelcome news and moving out of Denny is
not something that we were planning to do had this redevelopment
not forced the issue. Our nearest branch to Denny is Falkirk, and we
hope people will find time to pop in once our Denny branch closes.”

A B&M spokesperson, said:
“We
are actively seeking opportunities to increase the number of B&M
stores across Scotland, however I am not aware that we are looking at
this site at this present moment.
As
a growing business with more than 480 stores nationwide we are always
looking to expand further; providing great value products and world
class service to even more customers every week as well as playing an
integral part in the local community.”
