As UK Coal restructure the business ! so no new investment then ? IP: 81.109.63.236 Edited: 14/03/2012 19:29:31 by Aditaddict

If you work harder we'll keep it open, if not we might close it. Apparently production has been falling over the last couple of years, as has their safety record. There are more reserves, but they needs investment to access them and UK Coal are reluctant to invest. IP: 86.20.127.44
