Motions and Notices of Motion

14.1

Motion re Toronto Dominion Bank Pelham Branch Closure

Moved by Councillor Stewart

Seconded by Councillor Haun

WHEREAS the Toronto Dominion Bank has notified is customers that they are closing the Fonthill Branch July 16, 2021;

AND WHEREAS Council believes the Toronto Dominion Bank has not taken into full consideration the fact that Pelham is a fast growing municipality with many current and future residents depending on their in-person financial services;

AND WHEREAS the Town of Pelham has a large and growing senior population who will be seriously impacted by this closure;

AND WHEREAS a trip to a neighbouring city to a bank that is already overly busy is unacceptable;

AND WHEREAS many residents of the Town of Pelham are not tech savvy enough or do not have suitable access for internet banking;

NOW THEREFORE Council for the Town of Pelham asks that the Toronto Dominion Bank seriously take into account these concerns and reconsider the closure of the  Fonthill Branch.
