Halifax Branch Closure : Project Tulip

[Board Game Geek]

More than a third of the Halifax branch network faces closure by its owner Lloyds in one of the biggest bank culls in history.

Altogether, the Halifax, once Britain's biggest building society, has about 1,300 branches. Details of Project Tulip - the name given to the closure plan - were leaked to the Mail on Sunday by an executive angered by its secrecy and the impact it will have on communities.

The Prime Minister, seeking to save HBOS from collapse, waived competition rules which would normally have prevented the creation of such a powerful bank. But he later came under pressure when massive HBOS losses destabilised Lloyds - the bank is now 43% state-owned.

I wouldn't trust that financially inept tosser with his own pocket-money.

The Haliban did exactly the same when they took over (sorry merged with) the Bank of Scotland. What goes round ...... etc.

At first glance I thought it was the CUK naughty words filter in action.

This project name was surely suggested by a CUK reader...

Just you wait until they announce Project iamaprats. That'll be a double whammy.

Once revealed, it'll be clear they've left themselves top heavy and quite a handful to manage.
