Some cafes and visitor centres to close with job losses while reserves in Suffolk and Hertfordshire among those in peril

The future of several RSPB nature reserves is in doubt as the charity makes cuts, citing cost of living pressures.

The bird charity told its workers at an all-staff meeting on Thursday that cafes and visitor centres across some of its sites would be closing, and staff would be made redundant. It also said it was in the process of transferring ownership of some of its sites to other companies.
