HUNDREDS OF miners’ jobs were safeguarded yesterday by a pounds 1m investment that will maintain production at their pit for five years. UK Coal announced a plan to access new reserves from the Ellington colliery in Morpeth, Northumberland, the last deep mine in the North- east. Without the investment the pit could have closed within a year, with the loss of 400 jobs. Alec Galloway, UK Coal’s managing director of deep mines, said: “We will be reviewing the progress at Ellington on a monthly basis.”
