AB  - Despite developments in non‐branch financial service provision, such as
telephone and home banking, the high‐street outlet will continue to be
the main distribution channel. Branch network management is a highly
sophisticated task which has been further complicated since the late
1980s by the increasing realization of the role that high‐street outlets
can play in achieving marketing objectives. This factor, along with
significant developments and changes within the industry, has resulted
in a complete rationalization and restructuring of this key distribution
channel. Describes the new, efficient, retail‐oriented delivery systems,
compares them with Christaller′s Central Place Theory and discusses how
these transformations represent a significant and continuing element of
change in the urban morphology of UK towns and cities.
