REDDITCH Credit Union, which is threatened with closure after Redditch Council pulled funding, will find out tonight if an appeal against the decision is successful.

The union offers members the chance to make savings or take out loans if they do not have access to a bank account.

The council's new executive committee is due to look at the appeal tonight.

If the union does not win its appeal, the council will be the only one in the county not to fund its local branch. The council could not comment pending the decision.
