They want to have fresh talks with council chiefs, despite their plans for a mosque on land off Hall Street getting the go-ahead earlier this week.

Dudley Muslim Association is locked in a legal battle with Dudley Council over the land earmarked for the 52-ft high mosque.

Despite winning planning permission the group won't be able to build unless they win a Court of Appeal hearing, which will rule on the council's bid to buy back the land.
