Fifty posts going at Peugeot HQ

About 50 jobs are to go at the Peugeot Citroen headquarters in Coventry.

The firm has announced it will be asking for voluntary redundancies from its 600-strong workforce and is hopeful the losses will not be compulsory.

A spokesman said the reason was that car sales UK-wide had been falling because of the economic downturn.

The job losses will be split between the firm's headquarters in Stoke Aldermoor and a parts division in Tile Hill.

Peugeot shut its plant in Ryton, near Coventry, in 2007 with the loss of 2,300 jobs.
