Toys R Us has confirmed its Newtownabbey branch is among the stores likely to close after Spring 2018.

It's come on the same day thousands of jobs were saved at the struggling retailer.

The firm agreed a deal with the Payment Protection Fund to invest nearly £10m into its pension scheme.

It means most of its shops will stay open but Newtownabbey is among at least 26 expected to close next year as part of a restructure.
