Production at UK Peugeot plant at standstill

Production of cars at Peugeot-Citroen’s UK plant was at a standstill today as workers considered their next move following the stunning news that the plant is to close with the loss of 2,300 jobs.

Workers at the site in Ryton, Coventry were told by the company not to report for the start of their day shift at 6am because of a series of meetings being held throughout the day following the closure announcement.
