Jobswill be lost as a number of car dealership sites have been selected for closure.

Several Evans Halshaw Vauxhall sites are expected to shut their doors in the next two weeks.

The car retailer has 118 locations nationwide and is a brand of Pendragon PLC, the UK's second largest motor seller.

A spokesperson told one of the Oxford Mail's sister papers: “Following proposals by Vauxhall to revise its future distribution strategy, Pendragon has agreed to the closure of a small number of Evans Halshaw Vauxhall sites, predominantly in satellite locations.

“Pendragon has now entered a period of consultation with affected team members, and we will work with them to identify possible alternative roles across the Pendragon Group.”
