SNOW: Mini plant closed
1:14pm Wednesday 6th January 2010 in
OXFORD's Mini plant has shut down for the day.
Some areas of the plant in Cowley did start work this morning but then bosses decided to suspend operations due to the weather.
Spokesman Rebecca Baxter said a decision about resuming work tomorrow will be made later this afternoon.
Two hotline numbers will be running from 5pm with information updates for employees: 01865 828500 and 828501.
