That would be good news, but weren't BMW recently vaguely threatening the post brexit future of the Mini plant?

There is a shortage of land for housing in the Oxford area where brownfield sites are worth a lot more than in the Oxford area. So the plan was to switch production to the newer industrial buildings in Swindon and build houses on the Oxford site.

I think it's just a typo, and that line 2 should read 'the Swindon area'. I'd imagine that land is a bit cheaper there than round Oxford - slightly further from London and more of it.

No doubt BMW will hold fire on any decision until there is some outcome from the disgraceful shambles currently going on in Parliament. Hopefully BMW is run by adults who don't throw a tantrum if they don't get their own way.
