The real problem with this scheme - if it does go ahead - will be that of parking. While there are a few spaces opposite the entrance to the club, these would be insufficient for the people whould be expected for a large function. When it was the club, of course, it was local and as such most people walked there at 8pm and staggered home at 11.30pm.

The nearest street is Tanpits Road, which as some of you are aware is now a rat-run between Henry St & Blackburn Rd (avoiding the lights). It's bad enough now, but if you are going to get double parking at night, it will be a nightmare and it won't be long before someone is killed.

As regards the Mosque deal, there is one already in the building which used to house the happy-clappy chapel and which was previously the site of the York St Co-op (that's going back 50 years or so). Because it has been designated a place of worship, then no planning permission is now required (although a mineret will be another story).
