WHILE it’s a contentious subject, it really should not have come as any surprise that permission has been given by Bolton Council to allow the building of a super-mosque.

This is despite many people expressing their concerns as to the traffic problems it could bring to the area.

Things need to be put into perspective. People’s objections will go unheard by this Labour-dominated council who, for years, have seemed determined to allow the altering of Bolton’s skyline regardless.

This is, unfortunately, what we have had to endure and will have to endure in the future until hopefully, one day, through the ballot box we rid ourselves of Labour domination on our council.
