Community Group Continues Campaign Against Proposed School for Muslim Girls

Community opposition has derailed plans to build a Muslim school for girls with a capacity of 5,000 students in Briefield Mills, England. But according to a Nov. 30 article in the Lancashire Telegraph, the group that led the fight against the school isn't ready to rest just yet:
It was announced earlier this week that Islamic Help, a national charity, had scrapped plans to convert the seven-acre site into a 5,000-pupil boarding school for Muslim girls.

But it was revealed that the 50-pupil Ghausia High School for girls, based in Nelson, will still look to move to the site and the trust will look to create a sports centre for the whole community, alongside a commercial village housing start-up businesses. &

Clitheroe Road Residents Association, which now has a 1,000-person petition against the plans, vowed to continue their fight.
