I have lived on Warrington St. for nearly 40 years and have witnessed the massive rise in traffic in my area. It is very difficult and very frightening trying to cross Acres Lane/High St. to get to the town centre and the situation has now reached ridiculously epic proportions. When parents and children are coming in and out of the two schools either side of the Pineapple it is even more horrendous and is an accident waiting to happen. Cars and taxis are constantly coming in and out of the parking area at the back of Wetherspoons, vehicles are delivering goods to the pubs and shops, parents are collecting children in their cars and all trying to get into the flow of passing buses and traffic. Add to this the amount of children and other pedestrians, namely the large congregations who attend several churches in the vicinity, shoppers - especially around the extra busy periods of Christmas, Easter, Bank Holidays and local events - people going to work, Cheethams Park, etc. etc, and you have complete and dangerous chaos. In fact one poor lady has already been killed by a wagon not long ago opposite the Pineapple. There are a huge amount of homes and people, very many with cars too, living around the Pineapple, not to mention the amount of elderly people living in flats directly opposite and close by. To allow a Mosque to be built there where many more people would be coming and going up to 5 times a day would create even more havoc and be an even bigger danger to peoples lives. How much more of this chaos does Stalybridge have to take.
