Given your plans to improve social integration in London, do you share my anger and frustration with the years of delays forced upon the Markaz, an Iraqi refugee group, who sought to set up a community centre in the former BBC Hippodrome in Golders Green. Barnet Council failed to approve a simple planning application to change the class of the building from “church” to “place of worship”? These costly delays have made the Markaz feel unwelcome in Barnet, where they have been victim of a campaign of racism. Do you agree that this is unacceptable?
