Excerpt:
Controversial plans for a new mosque in Fulwood have finally been given the green light.
But at a heated planning meeting, some members were accused of being "bigots" and "racists" for opposing the scheme.
Work on the new mosque at the Masjid-E-Salaam site on Watling Street Road in Fulwood will now begin within six months, after a planning saga lasting two years.
The plans would see the demolition of the current building to be replaced by a prayer hall, four classrooms, accommodation and a 45-space car park.
