Clive Lewis, the Labour MP for Norwich South, said news of the Britvic site closure was a "body-blow" for the city.

"My thoughts are with the 242 members of staff who've had that uncertainty hanging over them, who've now been told that they'll be out of a job. Merry Christmas to them. I'm gutted for them", he said.

"I know the staff and unions fought tooth and nail to try to hold onto their jobs."

The MP also attacked the consultation process, saying many staff felt it had been a "...paper exercise only; they didn't feel the company went into it with an open mind".

Mr Lewis said he hoped it would still be possible to persuade Unilever to keep open the Colman's factory. He said if that was to close as well the city could lose a total of between 800 and 1,000 jobs .

The Norwich North MP Chloe Smith says the confirmed closure of the Britvic factory is depressing news coming so close to Christmas.

"I have been talking to the government about this and there is a package of support in place for those who lose their jobs which will now kick in," she said

"The big thing we must do now is to try to persuade Unilever to keep open their part of the site."

Ms Smith has held several meetings with business secretary Greg Clark since the company first announced its plans to close back in September

Another major retailer in Great Yarmouth has confirmed it intends to relocate out of the town centre.

River Island said it plans to move from its King Street store to Gapton Hall Retail Park.

It follows in the footsteps of Marks & Spencer which moved out almost three years ago.

A River Island spokeswoman said the planned relocation will happen in March, although the agreement is yet to be signed by the firm's property team.

She added: "I presume all staff will relocate to the new unit when complete and won't have an effect on redundancies."
