Soldiers of the 39 Engineer Regiment, based in Kinloss in Scotland, have not only succeeded in saving the cash machine at their barracks from being scrapped, they also had it moved outside the perimeter fence so locals could access it as well as Army personnel.
This welcome news is part of a growing movement across the UK of people—especially in rural communities—taking it upon themselves to secure access to cash. The Kinloss Barracks machine is part of a community request scheme run by LINK, suppliers of ATMs, which has thus far installed over 50 new machines across the country.
