Banks are changing to more rapid clearing of cheques and as a result are now very strict about the payee. Cheques incorrectly made out or with any alteration (initialled or not) are being returned. The account name is ‘Rothbury PCC-CG’.
‘PCC-CG’ (even with ‘Rothbury’ added above),’ Rothbury PCC’ or ‘Rothbury PCC-CG Roof’ are all unacceptable.
