Full list of Thomas Cook store closures - including one in Warwickshire

Travel company Thomas Cook has announced plans to close 21 of their stores across the UK - including one in Warwickshire.

As part of their plans to "streamline" their UK retail network, stores are closing from Scotland to Cornwall, with 320 jobs at risk.

And in a blow for the region, the store in Stratford-upon-Avon is one of those listed for closure.

It is believed that a consultation process has begun with those staff affected and unions.

Thomas Cook's chief of tour operating Will Waggott said: "Today's announcement reflects the wider challenges seen on the high street, with more and more customers choosing to book online.

"These measures will help us to drive greater efficiencies across Thomas Cook so that we relentlessly focus our resources in those areas that give us the greatest opportunity to make a difference to customers in our core holiday offering.

"Looking ahead, we will be working to ensure that Thomas Cook is fit for the future, putting a rigorous focus on costs in a competitive environment while giving customers more reasons to holiday with the strongest brand in travel."
