Talks over the future of steelmaking in south Wales have broken down as unions have refused to agree to Tata Steel's restructuring plans.

Unions said the company had disregarded the impact of the changes on workers, their families and communities.

Both blast furnaces in Port Talbot are expected to close this year with 2,800 jobs lost across the UK as a result, and all those employed at the blast furnaces leaving their roles by the end of the year.

A Tata Steel spokesperson said it has put forward an extensive offer that includes an enhanced employee support package and a generous proposal for a skills and retraining scheme.
