The Royal Bank of Scotland's decision to provide 300 extra free cashpoint machines for Britain's poorest communities is only a small step towards redressing the damage inflicted by the closure of nearly 6,000 branches over the last 16 years.
The cashpoints may have disappeared but the communities and their need for cash didn't go away. As a result, there has been a rapid rise in the number of fee-charging cash machines to replace the free ones that have disappeared.
