UK: Peterborough Mosque’s Call to Prayer Loudspeakers Plan Rejected
Plans to broadcast the Muslim call to prayer through loudspeakers three times a day to a city neighbourhood have been rejected.
The Masjid Ghousia mosque on Gladstone Street in Peterborough applied to the city council to install the speakers on one of its minarets.
Planning permission has been refused on the grounds it would be “an unwelcome intrusion on the soundscape”.
