Community Liaison Meetings
A Community Liaison Committee (CLC) is a gathering of residents, councillors, council regulators and staff at wienerberger. Members come together two to three times per year to discuss the interaction of wienerberger’s operations with the local community. Each CLC operates according to an agreed Terms of Reference, and wienerberger provides secretarial services and light refreshments for the meetings. Discussions at the CLC meetings span a variety of issues and can include everything from supporting community groups and local events, to environmental monitoring and operational updates. Members can recommend topics for the agenda according to their interests.
In between the CLC meetings, members are encouraged to share points of interest with their neighbours and the broader community through whichever channels are accessible to them. These conversations help residents understand more about wienerberger’s operations in their local area and in turn the feedback provided to wienerberger helps the company to positively contribute to the local community and swiftly address any concerns if they arise. A summary of recent community complaints is available here.
Updates for active Community Liaison Committees are provided below. If your local factory is not listed here but you are interested in engaging with wienerberger, please contact us.

Report from previous meeting:
10th September 2026
- The voluntary one-way system for HGVs continues to work well and be monitored by the brickworks staff. There have been very few reports of HGVs travelling the incorrect way around the one-way route.
- In order to reduce its carbon emissions, the brickworks has obtained planning permission to install a solar farm in its field behind the factory. The proposed scheme is a 1.6 MW system comprising 4,000 solar panels which could supply around a quarter of the factory’s electricity demand per year, and up to 80% of the electricity demand in the summer when generating at full capacity. The solar panels are likely to bring providing power to the factory in 2027.
- The extremely popular annual National Trust Heritage Open Day is being held this year on 12th September.
- The proposal to build 13 dwellings on the disused Old Ewhurst Brickworks site, which is classified as “previously developed land” and 4.2 acres in size, was rejected by planners earlier this year. The development partner intends to appeal the decision but we do not have a timescale for this yet.
