Sir John Hayes CBE MP, Conservative MP for Holland and The Deepings, Talks to the PCA About the Vital Role Cash and Banking Hubs Have in Maintaining Rural Communities.

Sir John Hayes CBE, the MP for South Holland and The Deepings for over 25 years, strongly support's cash and Payment Choice.

Sir John pays in cash whenever he can and enjoys visiting the shops in his constituency, rather than giving his business to Amazon.

Sir John sees the interaction between residents and local businesses as essential to fostering and maintaining genuine community life.

South Holland and The Deepings has lost most of the bank branches that used to provide truly local financial services to the nearly 80,000 voters who live in this beautiful rural constituency.

Sir John would like to see a Cash Access UK Banking Hub in every one of the small communities in his constituency, communities which have lost bank branches in recent years.

Sir John also fully supports the passing of legal measures to guarantee his constituents- and everyone else in the UK - have the right to spend their cash, when and where they choose.
