Marks & Spencer is to close another 17 stores with the potential loss of 1,045 jobs as it continues to cut costs as part of its turnaround plan.
The retailer said that it needed to shut the shops to reshape its British store estate, which includes some outlets in prewar buildings or on high streets where shopper visits have been declining for years.
The stores listed for closure are in Ashford in Kent, Barrow, Bedford, Boston, Buxton, Cwmbran, Deal, Felixstowe, Huddersfield, Hull, Junction One Antrim, Luton Arndale, Newark, Northwich, Rotherham, Sutton Coldfield and Weston-super-Mare.
