The Royal Bank of Scotland's (RBS) pledge to be the "last bank in town" has landed it in trouble with the advertising watchdog. RBS made the claims in two TV commercials which have now been banned by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). Viewers in Farsley, West Yorkshire, were among those who complained about the adverts. Two months after they were screened last year, a branch of Natwest in Farsley was closed, despite it being the last in the area. Natwest is part of the RBS group. The complaints were filed by Andrew Carter, Conservative councillor for Farsley, and the pressure group Campaign for Community Banking Services (CCBS). Mr Carter welcomed the ASA's ruling. He said: "Unfortunately it doesn't get our branch back. I just took the view that I was not prepared to see the people I represent treated in such a disdainful way. "Local businesses need a local bank and a local bank is one that is there on their own high street, not a high street well over one-and-a-half miles away."
