Vauxhall's Ellesmere Port plant has been shut since March due to COVID-19, with safety measures implemented for a future restart. Production will decrease from 310 to 280 cars daily to ensure safety. The plant will not resume operations until car showrooms reopen, as there is no demand for new cars. Suppliers like Adient are also on hold, dependent on Vauxhall's restart. The economic impact and job security in manufacturing are major concerns, with unions emphasizing the need to return to work to sustain local economies.
