Access to cash distance to local community

The UK says it will require banks to offer access to cash within a 3-mile distance of a depositor's local community.

This is a good policy in principle, but I fear British banks, with their propensity to close accounts to avoid inconveniences for themselves, will game the rules by implementing them in reverse, like this:

"Dear Sir or Madam, we are compelled to close your account on account of the fact that we have no ATM within 3 miles of the village where you reside. We regret the inconvenience this may cause."
