A procurement launch event was held last week for potential partners.

Enfield Council leader Nesil Caliskan said: “Our Meridian Water programme is going to provide thousands of homes and jobs in Edmonton and we weant a partner to help deliver the first phase of the strategic infrastructure which will help to make our vision a reality.”.
“These critical works will underpin the delivery of the entire project and the procurement of partner(s) to deliver this work demonstgrates once again that Enfield Council is making Meridian Water a reality and the public sector is ready, willing and able to deliver successful large-scale consgtruction projects in a way that truly benefits residents”.
Last week Galliford Try Partnerships was named as the council’s development partner for the delivery of the first 725 homes at Meridian One. The search for a new developer for Meridian Two, at Leeside Road has also started. This scheme will have around 250 affordable homes with workspace on the lower floors.
The council has lodged a bid for £156m of housing infrastructure fund cash from the government to help fund the first phases of enabling infrastructure works at Meridan Water.
