A BANK has announced it will be reducing its opening times on Saturdays to a half-day service.

Colchester High Street’s Santander branch is impacted by the decision which will affect more than 300 sites.

The large total of branches will move from from being open from 9.30 am to 4pm on Saturdays, to operating a half-day service and closing at 12.30pm.

The move comes as part of a wider shake-up of changes to opening hours being introduced by the bank from July 18.
