Newcastle City Council said it was committed to working with the community and would use feedback to "help shape revised proposals for Heaton".

"The reaction has not been positive," he said."It's going to really affect a mix of residents, local businesses, charitable organisations, voluntary organisations.

"There is quite a thriving business and voluntary community here, and to not have the ability to walk in and out of a bank on the High Street is going to really affect things."Fellow resident Gordon Lawson echoed those concerns for local organisations."In this area, a lot of people still work with cash," he said.

The closure of the last bank in town leaves their nearest branch in Dumfries, about 14 miles (22km) away.If the Bank of Scotland shuts in the tourist town of Moffat they would be even further - 20 miles (32km) - from that Dumfries branch.

Sub postmaster of the local post office Jamie Wood said he feared they would come under a "bit of pressure" if the closure went ahead.

"When the bank does go, we're going to be expected to take up the slack, which is fine," he said.China routinely denies involvement and a spokesman for the Chinese embassy in Washington DC told BBC News that the latest accusation was part of a smear attack without any factual basis.

"The US needs to stop using cyber security to smear and slander China, and stop spreading all kinds of disinformation about the so-called Chinese hacking threats," embassy spokesman Liu Pengyu said.The US has not supplied any evidence that China is responsible for the hack.
