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.

- The voluntary one-way system for HGVs continues to work well and be monitored by the brickworks staff.
