🏦 A new banking hub with Post Office services has been approved for a former Cowes High Street store, helping improve access to essential banking facilities in the town centre.

An application lodged with Isle of Wight Council seeks consent to convert 6 High Street — most recently occupied by Poundland — into a shared banking facility.

Ryde is set to get a new banking hub after the town’s bank branch announced it will close next year.
