I'm working on a Tonight with Trevor McDonald. We're looking for a small town or village for a programme about the cost of banking. Many rural areas no longer have easy access to a bank, but are still paying lots of money for banking services. If you think your community would be interested in taking part, and me coming along, please tell us a little bit about it; Does your town or village have shops and pubs? is there a post office? school? Any other information would be useful - is there a web site? Please e-mail emily.knowles@granadamedia.com before 1st July.
