Views sought over TA mosque plan
People living near the site of a proposed new mosque in Telford are being asked for their views.

The Shropshire Islamic Foundation wants to spend more than £1m transforming the old Territorial Army centre in Wellington into a place of worship.

It said the buildings would cater for 800 people and be the county's first mosque to offer separate prayer facilities for Muslim men and women.

A planning application has been submitted to Telford & Wrekin Council.

The King Street complex would feature a main prayer area covered with a glass roof, a women's prayer room, children's facilities, a kitchen and a flat for the Imam.
