Coal mine operator Unity Mine has reported to make 181 staff redundant in its mine near Neath, Wales. The announcement was made after the mine had entered into administration three weeks ago.
About 30 staff will be kept to maintain the mine, while administrators stated that they had received a significant number of inquiries from potential investors.
