Hays Travel in Coalville has closed after the company announced a series of cuts nationwide.

The UK's largest travel agency is shutting 89 shops as it consolidates amid the continued pressures of Covid-19.

Hays says it is offering options for alternative work to 388 staff who will lose their jobs.

The Coalville branch of Hays Travel in Belvoir Road will close - but its Market Street site in Ashby will be unaffected.

Hays Ashby posted on its Facebook page to confirm they would be doing business as usual and said: "In light of the announcement yesterday we want to reassure all our regular and new customers that this store is remaining open."

Nub News approached the Coalville branch but was referred to the company's head office.

Hays Travel said it had deferred reviewing the performance of the former Thomas Cook shops it acquired in October 2019 to see if business returned in 2021.

Hays Travel said the third national lockdown and travel ban, leading to major holiday operators suspending flights and holidays, meant it had to act.
