The police can't and won't do anything. but you just know if this wasn't a mosque that was causing these problems something would be done along with loads of traffic offences and fines.

In fairness Gary, that junction's going to be fairly chaotic anyway - you've got 6 road exits (and 1 that, seeing as it looks like a path into a park, isn't going to have a massive amount of traffic).

Add that to the fact that one of the exits links directly to the Small Heath Highway (which has always been a horrible road traffic-wise), and I don't really see how you can attribute much of the parking / traffic difficulties to the mosque
