A BANK in Worcester left its customers stranded after unexpectedly closing. 

Several customers with appointments and others hoping to use Lloyds Bank in The Cross bank today (Monday) were met with a locked building.

On the bank's door a note read: "To customers, unfortunately, the branch will be closed until further notice.

"The nearest branches are: Droitwich, Kidderminster, Malvern Belle Vue. 

"We apologise for any inconvenience, if you have an appointment, the colleague will be calling to rearrange."

Richard Wyke, who has used the bank for 20 years, said: "We've had no information it would be closed today.

"I feel betrayed by the bank. I feel shocked and dismayed by the lack of communication."

The Lloyds website has notified customers that it will be closed until Thursday, December 22. 

No reason was given for the closure.
