All the UK Santander bank branches that will close this week

The closures are estimated to put around 750 jobs at risk and the Spanish-owned bank will also cut hours across 36 sites and switch 18 to be counter-free.
Santander said it will be left with 349 branches after the sweeping changes.
This week, a handful of those branches are set to close across the country – see the list.
The following Santander branches will close this week:
Santander said the changes are being made as customers increasingly switch to online banking with it citing a 63% surge in digital transactions since 2019 while branch transactions have slumped by 61% in that time.
A Santander UK spokesman said: 'As customer behaviour changes, we are ensuring that our branches remain fit for the future.
'Our new combination of full-service branches, alongside work cafes, counter-free branches and reduced hours branches, aims to provide the right balance between digital banking and face-to-face money management and guidance.'
He added: 'Closing a branch is always a very difficult decision and we spend a great deal of time assessing where and when we do this and how to minimise the impact it may have on our customers.'
Santander said that from June 30, the majority of the reduced-hours branches will be open three days a week – either Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9.30am to 3pm, or Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9.30am to 3pm and Saturdays from 9.30am to 12.30pm.

The bank announced in March that it would change 18 sites to being counter-free from June 16 but stressed they will also be manned by staff to offer face-to-face support with an average of eight workers in these branches.
The group will be recruiting 95 new 'community bankers' in the locations where it is shutting branches and hopes to redeploy some of the affected workers into these jobs.
They will visit local communities on a weekly basis, based in centres such as libraries and community halls.

Liverpool star Darwin Nunez 'green lights' move after private transfer talks

Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has been heavily linked with a summer exit following a disappointing campaign in front of goal and a potential destination has now emerged Darwin Nunez has given Napoli the go-ahead to open talks with Liverpool over a transfer with the Uruguay star open to the idea of joining the newly minted Italian champions. Anfield has already seen a flurry of transfer activity so far this month, with Jeremie Frimpong joining the Reds from Bayer Leverkusen alongside his team-mate, Florian Wirtz, who made the same move for a British record transfer fee of £116million. ‌ Further incomings are already in the pipeline with Milos Kerkez set to join from Bournemouth and Crystal Palace 's Marc Guehi also on the radar. ‌ Liverpool would also like to add a new striker to their squad this summer with Nunez, 25, available for transfer following his underwhelming 2024-25 campaign. Napoli are among those courting the former Benfica man and, per reports in Europe, Nunez has now given the Serie A outfit an 'initial green light' after having the club's 'project' pitched to him. While Nunez is open to the idea of moving to Naples, any transfer would be dependant on Napoli and Liverpool agreeing a fee with the Reds unlikely to sell on the cheap. An agreement over personal terms would also have to be struck with Nunez, who moved to Anfield in a deal which could have reached £85m if all add-ons and bonuses were met. Previous reports have outlined that Liverpool would consider offers starting at €50m (£42.7m) with add-ons to nudge the figure up. ‌ The Reds rejected a £60m bid for the Nunez's services from Al-Nassr in January and there has been interest more recently from the Middle East, though the player has no appetite to move to the Saudi Pro League at this point in his career. After starting just eight Premier League games last season, Nunez headed into the summer open to the prospect of a move away from Merseyside despite Liverpool's Premier League title triumph last month. Arne Slot paid tribute to the striker's attitude towards the end of the season, saying: 'I don't know exactly what is going to happen. One of the main strengths we had this season is that everybody accepted his role. 'And his role sometimes could be to start every single game, hardly be taken off, sometimes be taken off. It could be sometimes not starting every single game, sometimes not playing hardly minutes.' Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.

You won't be eligible if you previously received a voucher from the council between October 2024 and March 2025. If you received a voucher from the council between April 2024 to September 2024, then you will only be eligible for further help after October 2025. If you're not a Ribble Valley resident, it is worth checking what support your local council can offer you through the Household Support Fund. For example, City of Doncaster Council is providing help to households that are in receipt of certain benefits, including Housing Benefit, Council Tax Reduction, Universal Credit and free school meals. ‌ If you're in a household with one dependent child, you will get a £100 payment for food, while £200 will be paid for two dependent children, and £300 for three dependent children. The council described a dependant child as one you are receiving Child Benefit for. A single payment will be made for energy bills to households that meet the eligibility criteria. Hull City Council is giving £200 to pensioner households. Meanwhile, low income families will get a £40 school uniform grant, as well as food vouchers in school holidays for those eligible for school meals. Hartlepool Borough Council is awarding £100 food vouchers to all households where a child is aged between two and 19 and is eligible for free school meals. Households with pensioners who are in receipt of council tax support will get £100 in bank payments or food vouchers this year.
