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.
