Community
We recognise the importance of keeping local communities informed of any of our activities that may affect them. This applies particularly to planning applications involving landfill, recycling, quarrying and house building. We are usually in direct contact with local people and with their elected representatives but our website provides an additional medium through which to consult and to invite comments. Contact form here. |

Hills Quarry Products has announced plans to extract 1.4 million tonnes of soft sand and intermingled limestone "doggers" from 18.6 hectares at Upwood Park Estate near Besselsleigh just off the A420. This proposed new Upwood Park Quarry is required to replace the nearby Tubney Woods Quarry when that comes to an end in 2010. |

| Westbury | ||
Plans for a proposed mechanical biological treatment (MBT) plant in Westbury have been approved and Hills are now giving detailed consideration to the construction programme. The £15 million plant will turn more than 45,000 tonnes of local rubbish in to a fuel to be used at a variety of outlets. The approved plans also include a household recycling centre (HRC) which means that local residents will no longer need to travel to Warminster and Trowbridge. You can view our exhibition and press release here. |
