Could never be just that there are too many cars in one place at the same time..... traffic outside the car park was at a standstill with taxis. Drivers trying to exit had nowhere to go.

Yes I think so.

Not an official route, but this is a quite way to get to the mersey.

The Path from Bruntwood Park up to Stanley Green is currently being upgraded.

For context, the paths used to be inaccessible and only possible to walk with wellies in the winter.
