“While the community centre is designed to respond to the needs of this community, it will be open to all, thereby providing a resource for the wider community of Blackburn."

While some objections were raised to controversial plans to turn a former pub into a Muslim community centre, an agent of the community says under the revised plans, on-site parking would be created and an agreement had been reached with a restaurant across the road for allocation of 15 additional parking spaces for use by the community centre.
The Lockside Tavern pub, at the junction of Bolton Road and Infirmary Street in Blackburn, would be converted into a community centre for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in the town, if plans are given the green light.
The building, which has lain empty for a number of years and has in the past been called The Infirmary Hotel would be used for their own meetings, social gatherings and prayer, although the rest of the community would also be able to use the facility.
Plans for the community centre were withdrawn in July but they were re-submitted to Blackburn with Darwen council on August 21.
