Expansion Plan
editIn 2003, plans were unveiled for the construction of a new mosque (which become known as the "Super Mosque" locally) in Hall Street, a site that had been leased by Dudley Council to the Dudley Muslim Association, in exchange for a site impacted by a proposed bypass.[2] The mosque proposals were scrapped in May 2010, after a long dispute, in favour of an expansion to the existing Dudley Central Mosque in Castle Hill,[3] an appeal was made by the Dudley Muslim Association against the High Court ruling,[4] and failed in February 2014.[5]
Activities
editOpen day was declared in 2015 to invited residents of all faiths to join them on 28 February 2015, to take a tour of Mosque and were invited to ask questions about Islam and find out more about plans for the proposed new mosque.[6]
