A mosque will be allowed to extend its opening hours despite concerns from a councillor over the police getting involved in alleged "infringements". It was concluded there wasn't sufficient evidence to prohibit the popular community mosque from opening its doors earlier in the mornings and closing later in the evenings.
The Muslim Cultural Centre, in Radford Bridge Road to the west of Wollaton, typically opened from 9am until 9pm each day. Temporary planning permission, lasting for a year, was granted in April 2021 to extend these hours to allow it to extend opening hours between 6.30am and 9am and 9pm and 11pm.
A proposal to open as early as 4am in the summer months was withdrawn. The mosque however applied to make these new opening hours permanent and the proposals were discussed during a planning meeting at Loxley House on April 20.
