Exactly.

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)

Exactly.

and I don't really see how you can attribute much of the parking / traffic difficulties to the mosque

All you've done is come on here and moan right?
How about instead, if it genuinely is a problem to road safety, contact the council and your MP?

Just to let you know it doesn't affect me. only when I have to drive through that way. which I try really hard to avoid anyway.
I was voicing the problems of having mosques in built up areas.

It doesn't have to.

b) "out of the way somewhere" tends to be greenbelt, where it is almost impossible to get planning permission

That's when villagers say leave our village alone. put it in the city!

Like most places of worship (churches, synagogues, etc) mosques tend to be built where most people live - cities and towns. Would you apply the same rules to synagogues and churches?

Everybody knows that most of our churches were built years ago. and everything else was built around them at the time.
some even have land to bury people. acres of it. so within that land there is room for people and cars.
and as I said before. a lot of churches don't attract many people to them. the busiest I've seen a church is at a funeral.
