Luton Vauxhall site could be bought by council
Available for over a year
The offer came after it was announced the vehicle manufacturing plant is to close. Hazel Simmons, the Labour leader of Luton Borough Council, says they want control over redevelopment of the site. Car giant Stellantis has decided to shut the factory and move electric van production to its plant at Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. The site has been making vehicles since 1905 and was a major employer in the town. Interview by Sam Read. Photo: Getty Images.
