Postal service firm Royal Mail has announced plans to cut 2,500 head office and other support jobs by the end of 2027.

Frontline postal workers - posties and drivers - are not part of the proposed restructuring.

The cuts will represent about 2% of the 131,000-strong workforce.

Royal Mail said the cuts, which are designed to improve efficiency, will be achieved through voluntary redundancies and people leaving the company.
