AN MP has found more about a charity's vision to use heritage to knit together communities.

Maria Miller MP visited the Charity Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) at its offices in Crockford Land, Chineham.

MOLA is an independent charity providing research and education in archaeology and built heritage with the aim to help communities and individuals connect with their heritage.

The MP said: “ It was wonderful to meet with MOLA based in Basingstoke and hear their vision for heritage being an integral part in the development of communities.

"I very much look forward to seeing how the charity can work with developers and the community here in Basingstoke and other parts of Hampshire.”
