If your rural community has recently lost its banking service, please ensure that your parish has responded to CAS’s Rural Services Survey. Please do take the time to complete this survey as the information provided will help us to continue to fight for better services for the rural communities of Suffolk, both now and in the future.
For a reminder of your Parish’s unique access code and password please email us.
