Zulfiqar Ahmed expressed concerns about the need for safety measures outside the mosque after repeated crashes, advocating for steel bollards to prevent future incidents. He emphasized that the mosque has been a repeat target of vehicle accidents, with serious damage occurring multiple times since 2010, raising alarms about the potential for a fatality. Ahmed stated, 'To avoid a fatal accident, we need to push much harder with the local authority - they need to install safety barriers or steel bollards in front of the mosque.'
Following a car crash that damaged the mosque, Newham Council highlighted their ongoing initiatives, such as rolling out a 20mph speed limit across the borough. A spokesperson mentioned, 'These initiatives aim to improve safety and encourage walking and cycling by reducing speeds on our roads.' They indicated a commitment to addressing community safety concerns with additional measures and the current investigation by the Met Police into the collision.
