Community engagement

Hills is working closely with Englefield Estate and neighbours to the site to ensure that the work at Mortimer Quarry southern extension has a minimum impact on people living in, and visiting the area.

 

Englefield Village Hall

Many people in the community love using Englefield village hall. However, the acoustics are poor which affects the use of the hall especially for those older residents.  Hills made a donation of £250 towards the fundraising to improve the acoustics.
