Catching up with the team at York Mosque

Hull Road Labour Councillors Fiona Fitzpatrick and Neil Barnes paid a visit to the York Mosque and Islamic Centre on Bull Lane on Friday 24th May.

Fiona and Neil spoke with them about recent media coverage and offered our ongoing support to the York Muslim community - incidentally they reported lots of similar expressions of support from local residents.

It was great to find out more about their future plans for the Mosque and the new building they are currently fundraising for. As you can see from the photo below of a mocked-up model - fears about the height of the building are unfounded.



















And finally, we got some great food during the visit - they are the perfect hosts!
