Cardtronics, the company responsible for the ATM in Tarbert is under fire again for not keeping the service working.

 

In December, the machine only worked for 10 days.

 

So far in 2018, the ATM has been out of action from 5th to 12th January.

 

It stopped dispensing cash again on Monday.

 

Previous operator, Lloyds Banking Group, promised an “improved and more consistent” service when transferring the machine to Cardtronics.

 

Isles MP Angus MacNeil called it a “truly shoddy service.”

 

He added: “In the case of the ATM in Tarbert, Cardtronics are absolutely not providing an improved service.

 

“During the month of December the ATM only worked for 10 days and so far in 2018, it has only worked for seven days.

 

“An island cannot expect to manage without an ATM. North Harris Community Council have contacted Cardtronics on numerous occasions but Cardtronics sadly do not appear to be interested.

 

“The people of Harris deserve a much better service and with the tourist season approaching, something must be done to bring about improvements to the ATM.

 

“In addition to contacting Cardtronics, I will also be making Lloyds Banking Group aware of the situation with this ATM.”
