A second site in Abbey Square is also earmarked. Both full planning and advertising consent applications have been submitted for the vacant Forum premises. The design and access statement, lodged on behalf of the bank, proposes the "internal refurbishment of the premises into fully functional Barclays Bank with new brand concept". Chester Cathedral has announced plans to move back into the building currently occupied by Barclays Bank (Image: Chester Cathedral) Also featured in the plans is the installation of one external ATM, new signage for the front and side of the building, and three air conditioning condensing units. Speaking back in May, customer care director for Barclays Joe Appleton said: “By working collaboratively with Cheshire West and Cheshire Council and the cathedral, Barclays has decided to relocate from St Werburgh Street to two new prominent sites in the city centre that will continue to support customers with their banking needs whilst growing our local community presence. "Barclays have operated in Chester for many years and as our customer needs evolve, it gives us the opportunity to reshape our physical branch offering to focus more on what our customers need today and in the future. No immediate action is required by Barclays customers and we will be in touch as soon as more details are available." McDonald's made the decision to close its Forum branch back in June 2018 "due to significant changes in trading patterns in this area of the city" and as a result of the impending Northgate Development. It had been based there since 1997. The Forum Shopping Centre closed for good on New Year's Eve - due to the Northgate scheme - with the council "exploring potential development options" for the future of the site "in the context of the wider review of the One City Plan for Chester". The four shops fronting onto the town hall square - including the old McDonald's are being retained by the authority.
