Assalamu Alaykum everybody
I pray to Allah SWT to keep you well.

This is a gentle reminder that the consultation period for our planning application will end on this Thursday 22 May 2025. If any one of you has not posted his/her support on the planning portal please do this now.

On Friday 9 May, the planning portal has been and it showed a number of negative comments (Objections or implied objections) against our planning application to change the use of the Alystonians Rugby Football Club Building at the rear of 252-258 Knighton Lane East LE2 6FU from community centre F2 to a worship place F1.

If you live within Knighton, Knighton Fields, Ayleston, Saffron Lane areas or within LE2 area in general
Now we need your support.

If you live outside these areas you can still write but please justify why you think you have to support a masjid outside your catchment area, for instance, you can say “Although I live outside LE2 I work in Knighton or LE2 and I need a mosque in this area to pray on Fridays. This is why I think it is justified for me to make my representation on the planning portal”.

Please go to the following link:
https://planning.leicester.gov.uk/Planning/Display/20250285
and post your positive representation (favourable comment). Please try to ask your wife and daughters to write and post their positive comments too. We need as many supportive representations as possible.

Please keep your posts short, sharp and concise.

Please highlight the need for a mosque and Islamic community and education centre in the area. Please highlight that a planning permission for a Mosque at this building will revive the area and make good impact on the wellbeing of the people and the environment in Leicester.
