Dear editors,
This newspaper will be aware that the Athena restaurant’s application (Midland Road, Bedford) to be a Mosque was refused on the grounds of parking, pollution, and increased traffic to name but a few reasons in 2022.

They have now made a new application and local residents are again concerned, particularly about parking and the years they have spent in Bereton Road ignoring planning restrictions.
There is a small window for residents to object before 26 February and having spoken to many neighbours we are shocked at a third application.
We are humbly seeking the Council refuse this on parking issues alone.
