Amazon has revealed plans to shut three UK warehouses in a move which will impact 1,200 jobs.
The company has launched consultations over the closure of sites in Hemel Hempstead, Doncaster and Gourock, in the west of Scotland.
All workers at the sites will be offered roles at other Amazon locations.
The online technology giant has also revealed plans for two new major fulfilment centres in Peddimore, West Midlands, and Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, which will create 2,500 jobs over the next three years.
"We're always evaluating our network to make sure it fits our business needs and to improve the experience for our employees and customers," a spokesman for the company said.
"As part of that effort, we may close older sites, enhance existing facilities, or open new sites, and we've launched a consultation on the proposed closure of three fulfilment centres in 2023.
"We also plan to open two new fulfilment centres, creating 2,500 new jobs, over the next three years.
"All employees affected by site closure consultations will be offered the opportunity to transfer to other facilities, and we remain committed to our customers, employees, and communities across the UK
