Santander has announced that its Elephant & Castle branch will close on 25 October as the likely demolition of the shopping centre draws nearer.
Southwark's Labour, Lib Dem, Conservative and Green leaders took questions from local residents at Southwark Cathedral on Tuesday night ahead of next week's local elections which will decide who runs the borough for the next four years.
