There is a ample number of mosques in dudley to cater for the Muslim population, I know of three in the town centre. The land should be used for anyone and everyone to enjoy. With the hippodrome and dudley itself being regenerate, shouldn't the land be used to attract more vistors, create new jobs and improve the area. The mosque will create new jobs but a hand full will be open to non muslims as nonbelievers are not permitted in all parts of the mosque.

How is opening a huge, unneeded, typecast place good for a community such as ours?

We are supposed to be a multicultural nation yet this plan only benefits one culture! Foreign people have the right to settle here, as set out in our laws and I don't have an issue with that, but why do we have to accommodate every cultural thing they desire? If you move to another place to better your life, surely assimilation into that society is the way to make it better. Having this mosque built, in the way the plans outline it, will just be another kick to the English Pride.

 Quite right. This is England. Dudley is trying to promote itself as a centre for English Heritage. ENGLISH.
