The closures will come after 2022 saw 132 Barclays branches close its doors for good.
Meanwhile, Barclays plans to increase the number of pop-up banking sites by 70, with 200 already set up across the country.
The bank is also opening new ‘banking pods’, which are temporary sites that can be moved across the country based on demand.
