Number .....P001:735.. Received ...16.FEB.1997. |
IF YOU WISH TO OBJECT, YOU CAN GET INVOLVED IN PROTESTS AND SEND YOUR COMMENTS TO THE COUNCIL. |
Name ..McDonald's Junk-Foods Ltd.. |
Location ..The well known local Pub... |
McDonald's intend to convert the existing Public House into a 'drive-thru'
providing high fat, low fibre, junk-food. Sophisticated marketing will be
used to encourage impressionable children to become frequent consumers
of such a diet (linked to greater risk of
heart disease and cancer). | |
Does the proposal involve alteration to an existing road access?
YES [/] NO [ ]
The existing access from the road will be greatly enlarged,
resulting in nuisance to passing pedestrians,
and greater risk of accidents involving children.
The 'Drive-Thru' will encourage people to needlessly
use their cars and contribute to air pollution.
Hundreds of cars will enter the site each day,
increasing the levels of local traffic and congestion.
| |
The total number employed on the site following the proposed development ? ..50-60... Although appearing to provide more jobs than the existing Pub, most will be insecure, part-time jobs with low wages and little opportunity of meaningful promotion. No account is taken of the proposal's contribution to loss of trade to existing businesses in the area and resulting unemployment. | |
Is an Environmental Statement enclosed ? YES [ ] NO [/] Large volumes of needless and wasteful packaging will be used. Despite promising to perform 'litter patrols', the reality will be a significant increase in litter. Some people may find the cooking smells offensive and noise may also prove to be a problem. | |
Does the proposal form a stage of a larger development which is not part of this application ?
While the initial proposal is for opening hours of 7am to 11pm, future
proposals may include an application for 24 hour opening. |
