Lloyds TSB Internet Banking: New Data Centre Expansion

Over the years Internet banking has become more and more popular, and it is for that reason why Lloyds TSB has confirmed that they will push ahead with their expansion, by building a new data centre. We are told that the new operation will be built in Dumfriesshire at a cost of £200 million.

According to BBC News, the bank is said to be holding a big meeting some time this week to discuss the plans for the project. We are not sure how locals will react to the data centre being built on a farm, but outline planning permission was granted last year. The good news is that 600 new jobs will be created for the building work, and 50 once complete.

That’s not to say that the plans will go ahead, which is the reason for this week’s meetings. In these meetings residents can still have their say – so maybe they could change the minds of Lloyds TSB if they have any concerns?

DatacenterDynamics reports that the bank will hope to push ahead and submit its full planning application in March. Will you oppose the plans, or will it be good for the area?
