UK politicians urge Anglo to rethink fertiliser project halt

UK politicians are calling on Anglo American AAL.L to rethink halting its work at the Woodsmith fertiliser project in northern England, part of an asset overhaul Anglo announced after rejecting takeover proposals from global miner BHP. Anglo's unit Crop Nutrients was holding a town hall meeting on Thursday to advise on the slowdown of the project in North Yorkshire, two sources said. Woodsmith currently gives work to around 2 000 people, including contractors, according to the mining company's website.
