Residents in Carshalton have expressed outrage after the British National Party (BNP) began targeting their area in an attempt to capitalise on suspected anti-Islamic feeling.

BNP leaflets describing Muslims as fanatics' and claiming Britain is becoming an Islamic dictatorship were distributed to homes in Woodstock Road and Rotherfield Road this month.

Quote:


“The move follows a controversial application by the Muslim Cultural and Welfare Association of Sutton (MCWAS) to build a new community centre in place of Wentworth Hall in Woodstock Road.

The application for a new building to be used for Islamic teaching and prayer was withdrawn last month after residents objected to the proposal.”



But they intend to try again.


Muslim group reworks community centre plan

A local Muslim group has signalled its intention to press ahead with plans for a new community centre despite withdrawing its first application in the face of local opposition.



Quote:


“Following the withdrawal of the proposal, the MCWAS has been given advice by Sutton Council on the best way to succeed with a second application which is expected to be submitted in the next two months.
John Faulkner, chairman of the Woodstock Road Residents' Association, said: "We wait with anticipation to see what it the application contains. Overall we are not really in favour of any major redevelopment of the site because of all the issues that arise from the redevelopment - not just the actual look of the place but the parking and the general disturbance in a residential area."
