Eight years after the Didcot Power Station collapse the victims' families are still waiting for answers.

The daughter of a worker who was killed in the Didcot Power Station collapse eight years ago has vowed to keep fighting until "justice is done".

John Shaw, 61, also from Rotherham, Michael Collings, 53, from Teesside, and Christopher Huxtable, 34, from Swansea, Wales, also died at the scene.Thames Valley Police and the Health and Safety Executive - who have been conducting a joint investigation - said they continued to investigate offences of corporate manslaughter, gross negligence manslaughter and health and safety offences.Ms Cresswell said the wait, and not knowing when the investigation would end, had been "frustrating".

Ms Cresswell said justice would be done once she and her family were told why their loved ones went to work and never came home. "We want this investigation to look at the ins and outs of demolition - make sure it never happens again - because we don't want to see a family like us on the news and their loved ones being lost," she said.
