The steel manufacturer Tata Steel is to cut 2,500 jobs at the Port Talbot steelworks despite a taxpayer-backed deal securing the long-term future of the plant.

The business secretary, Jonathan Reynolds, has agreed a deal under which the government will provide £500m towards the construction of a new, greener electric arc furnace at the site, with the plant’s Indian owners paying £750m. However, the deal fell short of job guarantees for current employees.

We would like to hear from people who have been affected by job cuts at the Port Talbot Steelworks. Will it affect you personally? If you live locally, what impact will it have on the local community and businesses? Do you have any concerns?
