Islamophobia Watch

Plans for an Islamic educational centre near Ardenham Street in Aylesbury have been welcomed by a district councillor despite fears the scheme will lead to traffic chaos.

Under the proposals, the currently disused industrial building at Friarage Works in Middle Lane would be turned into a religious centre which will teach up to 20 children in Islamic Studies, as well as help them with their English and maths skills.

Objections to the scheme focus on fears over increased traffic and parking problems in the area.
