Honda has confirmed its western England car factory, which employs 3,500 people, will close in 2021.

The Japanese carmaker announced Monday that the Swindon plant will shut in two years, "at the end of the current model's production life cycle."
Honda said the closure is not Brexit-driven but "is part of Honda's broader global strategy in response to changes to the automotive industry."
