- Following the announcement of NatWest’s campus-branch closure, which is scheduled for 25 March 2013, the University has announced its intention to secure provision of a new banking service by an alternative provider. A request has been put out to tender, though it is anticipated that there will be an interim period without a replacement service following the NatWest closure at the end of March. Customers will be able to use the adjacent Barclay’s branch for over-the-counter services until the installation of a new provider.
- Uncertainty remains over the future of Diggles as a staple campus snack vendor. Despite its sudden closure in Week Two, its fate as reported in internal University newsletters seems to be to reopen again ‘at some point in the next few weeks’. Until then, students may enjoy the aesthetics of its newspapered window display.
