A councillor has condemned plans by mail group Consignia to axe 127 postal jobs when it closes its Shoreham parcel depot.
Daniel Yates, Labour leader on Adur Council, has asked the company not to enforce compulsory redundancies at the Parcelforce depot.
He said: "The Parcelforce site has had a long and chequered history and we believe it has a valuable role to play in the future of Shoreham town centre and Shoreham Harbour redevelopment.
"We are concerned at the effects these plans will have on the lives of the many local staff as well as our local economy. We call on Parcelforce to review this decision."
Consignia, formerly the Post Office, has announced 15,000 jobs will go nationwide over the next two years.
