A banking hub is set to open in Ely - one day after the city's official branch shuts down. 

Barclays Local will be located at Ely Library, 6 The Cloisters, and will welcome customers from Friday April 12.

It will follow the closure of the bank's official Barclays branch in High Street on April 11.

When the closure was announced in January, the company said there would be no redundancies.
