Ailing supermarket giant Morrisons has finally revealed which 11 stores it plans to close, in a move that will see 900 people lose their jobs.
Branches in Little Hulton and Tyldesley plus 9 others will be axed.
Morrisons had outlined plans for the closures last week as part of a dramatic revamp, but has only now revealed which stores will be hit.
Chief executive David Potts said last week the decision was made "with great regret", but added there was no way to make the affected stores "viable".
The other stores are West Bromwich, Burnham-on-Sea, Castletown in Sunderland, Clevedon, Northallerton, Oldbury, Shildon and Streatham.
Morrisons also offloaded 140 M local convenience stores to entrepreneur Mike Greene as it bids concentrate on its larger supermarkets.
Mr Greene pledged there would be no job losses as a result of the deal.
