Work at a north London incinerator construction site has resumed after a worker died following a collision involving an HGV.

Construction at Edmonton EcoPark’s energy recovery facility was halted last Wednesday (November 23).

Following completion of the site investigations, the restarting of construction will follow a “controlled approach”.

Each activity at the site will have a “thorough review of safety procedures”.

The North London Waste Authority said in a statement: “The decision to reopen the site follows extensive consideration.

“The welfare and safety of staff is paramount, therefore the activities associated with the incident are still under review and will not commence until Acciona are completely satisfied that it is safe to do so.”
