In a free country, you can build whatever you want with permission. Be it a mosque, church or whatever, you can't stop people from being free. You may not like something or people's views but that doesn't mean they don't have the right to go ahead with it. For those people that are complaining that its in the place of The Waltham Oak PUB, it closed down and was for sale so even if a Mosque was not to get built here, something other than a pub would have and if the community wanted the pub to stay there so desperatley, somebody should have bought it and kept one there. So if you think it is right, please support the Faizan-e-Islam's planning application to convert the former Waltham Oak Pub into a Mosque/Community Centre, by signing this petition you would help greatly, Thank You.

The arguments against this conversion ignore the reality that the property was already on the market. We are continuing to push for this community space despite the noise.

People need to stop whining about a pub that went out of business years ago. It is their property now and they have every right to use it. get over it.

The pub has been sitting empty for ages. It is an eyesore honestly. Let them build the community centre since it will actually be used by people in the neighborhood.

About time. Walthamstow needs a place for the community to come together. Great idea.
