An appeal to the Department of the Environment to keep open a mosque in the Bradford Moor area of Bradford has failed. The Abu Bakar Mosque in Lapage Street, Bradford Moor, will now close on September 30, despite a claim by the senior community relations officer in Bradford, Mr. John Naylor, that Muslim children could be in danger it if does. He told an inquiry that the mosque was ideally situated close to their homes. He said that if they have to go further afield there could be a danger of road accidents.

OUR READERS' VIEWS: At last we are able to ride across the city from Fagley, which is very nice in inclement weather, but is it really worth another 4d. per day to anyone using them morning, noon( twice) and night? Why on earth should it be 4d. from the Town Hall, which I call the city centre, to Fagley? I just don't know how far it is, but Bingley seems a lovely ride for 5d. in comparison. I maintain from anywhere in the town centre to Fagley should still be 3d. "STILL WALKING ACROSS TOWN", Fagley.
