Tesco Silverburn Glasgow

Tesco is ending 24-hour shopping at 70 of its stores - around one in six of those currently open around the clock.

The company says the growth of online shopping means that certain shops had few customers during the night.

Normal night-time activities conducted at the store - such as refilling shelves - will continue in the supermarkets, so Tesco has said that the impact on employees will be 'minimal'.

The outlets affected will close between midnight and 6am.
