Edgware, UK - Construction Work On New Eruv Will Start Soon

After a seven-year wait, construction work on the Edgware eruv, which will allow Orthodox Jews to carry items and use such apparatus as pushchairs on Shabbas, is expected to start next week.

In December, Barnet Council granted a licence for the religious zone, laying down the final details of the eruv, which will be constructed using poles, interconnecting wires, walls, train lines and other geographical features.

The licence to begin this work was due to be signed and returned to the council yesterday.
