Workers at Fourstones Paper Mill near Hexham are being supported by the Unite trade union during a consultation over potential redundancies.

The mill manufactures recycled paper products. Unite said the consultation remains ongoing, and that it is working to secure the best possible redundancy terms for affected members.

Jobs figure has not been confirmed

The number of jobs at risk has not been disclosed. The process is therefore still at a consultation stage, rather than a confirmed announcement of redundancies.

Fourstones Paper Mill has been approached for comment.
