We need a proper mosque

last four years in their search to find us a suitable place for a mosque.


We need somewhere that will accommodate all


local Muslims, of which there are now 300-plus. The trustees stated in the paper that only about


eight to 15 people will be using the mosque, but there are about another 150 men who would wish to attend a proper mosque, which in my opinion is what’we


need, not a makeshift dwelling with restrictions in place. This is totally against Islam. We need to abide by


our prayer times, dictated in the Koran. This is fun­ damental in our Islamic religion and RESTRICT­ ING PRAYER TIMES IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. If members of the Muslim community have to


pray at home for the first and last prayers of the day, what is the point of having the mosque? We might as well pray at home for all prayer times. The first morning prayer is most important to us,


as is the last evening prayer, especially to shift work­ ers who cannot attend the daytime prayers. What will we do at Ramadam? We need to be able


to attend the mosque 24 hours a day at this time. The trustees must do the right thing for all local


Muslims and find us a correct place for a mosque. We are not happy with the plan for Holden Street. THE TRUSTEES ARE NOT USING 1ST,AM.

It refers to the training of key council employees I have supported the trustees of the mosque for the


of children and to put forward plans for it yet again is a total waste of our money.


The property in Holden Street is only for the use

central Government and would appear to be compul­ sory for all borough councils, regardless of political affiliation. It also carries with it the threat of censure for “poor performers.” I was under the impression that democracy is the


strings will be pulled by a dictatorial central bureau­ cracy in Whitehall. For the poor burghers here in Burnley, local gov­


ernment and Whitehall are of the same hue and will no doubt avoid conflict. But for the Ribble Valley, the situation is markedly differfent. The Labour Party does not control the Ribble Val­


ley Borough Council but with this performance scheme, does the party actually need to be elected to the council for it to have overall control of the most essential workings of council business? If the councillors who have been elected are con­


tent to follow the guidance of the so called “experts” from Whitehall, is it because there are no significant


differences in policy between the three “mainstream” political parties? This must surely result in Labour policy being implemented in the council offices by the back door.


JOHN A. CAVE, Hudson Street, Burnley


An opportunity we must


seize before it is too late WE feel it is important that all Ribble Valley Bor­ ough Councillors are aware of the choices to be made regarding the parish hall site following the outcome of the recent study into the regeneration opportuni­ ties for it.


The parish hall is in need of major repairs and refurbishment which is beyond the capacity of the


hall trustees or, indeed, the Parochial Church Council (PCC) to deliver. It is an asset of considerable importance, provid­ ing floor, stage and meeting space not readily avail­


able elsewhere in the Ribble Valley. It is owned by trustees and managed and subsidised by the PCC; and currently the hall is used to 36% of its full poten-


election of a representative of the people by the peo­ ple so as to implement the wishes of the people who elected that representative, not a puppet whose


munity use on the parish hall site and the report rec­ ommends the parish hall be sold or let on a long lease to a community-based development company which could continue to manage it and oversee future rede­ velopment. The trustees are willing to sell or lease the site to


tial by a great variety of community organisations. The PCC and trustees wish to see continued com­


such a company and would be willing to reinvest all or part of the funds resulting from any sale back into a community-based project. There is huge potential for development on the


parish hall land particularly from York Street. Legal advice has been sought and the Charity Commission has been consulted and we are advised the Trustees have the power to dispose of the site as they see fit. We have considered setting up a community-based


tatives from TCP and other initiatives in the town. As yet little progress has been made because of the poten­ tial conflict with a new arts and culture centre on the gas works site. . The condition of the parish hall continues to deteri­


own this site and develop it for the benefit of the peo­ ple for the Ribble Valley it will have to close and be sold for redevelopment.

EU constitution wins


a guarded welcome DOES the final draft of the EU constitution represent the “tyranny” claimed by some newspapers? I think most people will judge it as a fair


attempt to ensure that a Europe of 25 nations can work more openly and effectively than at present. It signals an end to the secrecy behind


which Government ministers have met to decide EU laws, enabling them to he held to account by the House of Commons. It gives national parliaments the right to object and together in practice to overturn European Commission proposals on matters best dealt with domestically, and it spells out that any country has an absolute right to leave the EU. The constitution strengthens the legal


rights of individuals across the EU, something that our own Government has disgracefully tried to prevent. It reduces the use of the national veto that has so often been used by ’ France and Spain to block change, and to pro­ vide balance it extends the law-making pow­ ers of the European Parliament across the range of EU work. The words bear the hallmarks of inevitable


compromises. In Britain we often overlook that small nations in Europe want protection from being ignored or overruled by big coun­ tries like ourselves. Those who want a world dominated by


George W. Bush will find plenty to criticise. For my part I want Britain with the Euro­ pean Union to play a more effective role in world affairs so I welcome the plans for better coordination between Governments. I give the constitution a guarded welcome. It is a great deal better than the treaties we have at pre­ sent.
