As we are sure you are all aware of the refurbishment of the male wudu area some time ago. Apologies are in order for the ongoing issues pertaining to our sensor taps. You will be pleased to know that a whole new set of taps are in the process of being fitted! Unfortunately we were badly let down by the original fitters.After much “discussion” it has been decided to dispense with their services! InshAllah this will be corrected in the next couple of weeks. Apologies again for this inconvenience.
