Islamic group ‘pleasantly surprised’ by Worcester Park consultation

Update: Proposals to turn Worcester Park Tavern into Islamic Community Centre withdrawn

via Kingston Guardian – An Islamic group proposing a community centre in the abandoned Worcester Park Tavern have been “pleasantly surprised” by the feedback they received during a public consultation.

The police were poised and ready on Saturday for a rumoured protest at 2pm. However, the protest never took place and the Ismaili community say the majority of people who turned up on Friday and Saturday wanted to engage with them.

Shaheen Verjee, 34, is a member of the Ismaili community in north London, attends the Ismaili community centre in Finchley, and runs her own clothing business.
