Ormskirk's Cheque Centre has closed.

The Burscough St branch is now empty after the Scottish firm moved out late last month.

A spokesperson for Cheque Centre told QLocal this morning: “Following a three-month consultation process, the difficult decision was made in December last year to close the Cheque Centre in Ormskirk.

“The store closure is the result of a planned restructuring of the business across the UK to make it more customer-focused, efficient and profitable.

"It reflects the change of customer needs and requirements which are now increasingly being managed online - especially for our loan products.”
