Village Green Under Siege in Bolton

Residents of Chew Moor, Bolton, Greater Manchester, are in uproar as plans to concrete over their beloved village green for a mosque car park emerge. The green, next to the newly converted mosque formerly a Methodist church, was disrupted without planning permission, leading to a fiery public meeting. Local politician @martyncox states the act as vandalistic. Plans were withdrawn due to a lack of environmental reports, but concerns remain. While some locals support the car park for easing traffic, the battle for the green continues as the planning process unfolds.
