UK Hindus Denied Land for Temple, Awarded to Church and Muslim Group

UK Hindus lose land bid to church and Muslim group

British Hindus in Cambridgeshire have been denied their first place of worship in Northstowe, with a local council awarding faith land to a church and Muslim group. Hindu Samaj Northstowe's bid, proposing an interfaith centre and temple, was scored lower than the Northstowe Church Network's proposal. This leaves around 150 Hindu families without a local space for worship and cultural practices, forcing them to travel long distances.
