I lived in the apartment block facing Tesco in Stalybridge for 3 years.
Was bottom floor right next to the canal.Loads of people used the paths(obviously) to get to and from Tesco.
It was also a short cut to get to and from the town centre,also the train station for the ale trail.
The amount of people I've seen fall in,not just at night,but also the day,is incredible.
I seen a bloke pissed up push his Mrs in,I kid you not,seen 1 bloke on a mountain bike swerve to avoid the ducks and go straight in.
Sadly one person died right outside the Tesco,which is very well lit at night.
Dunno what the outcome was of that one,accident or other.
Dunno if their is some nutter out there,just saying,over a stretch of about 150 yards,I've seen a mental amount go in.
