With that one, it was going to be a 24hr, takeaway only McDonalds which would have affected the nearby residents and brought a shit load more Uber eats mopeds into the picture. Also, the line of properties it sits in are owned by the same owner, who has doubled rents in recent years, forcing the cafe that used to be in that spot to close. A cafe that gave funds various charities that support vulnerable women.

I only really have specific objections to the one near me (This is bristol, fwiw), rather than being against all potential McDonald’s franchises.
It’s a road that is already inadequate for the level of traffic, which will now get worse with a drive through maccy ds on it. It’a close to an area with some great, independent places to get (much healthier) food, who will suffer. There has been a large campaign to keep them out and they were initially rejected. They basically steamrollered their way through - they were always going to build one there, clearly. -
Just go and report yourself to the golf club thread already.

somewhere safe for people to hang out
Really? The Maccas here is the place I most often see with coppers out front. I guess you get security guards and CCTV at a Maccas compared to a Kentish Fried Chicken or whatever.

I'm interested because a friend of mine owns two McDonald's franchises and his planning applications actually received community support, on the basis of job creation for young people and somewhere safe for people to hang out. They are not in London though.
You’ll be telling us the milkshake machine works in his branches next...

What are the reasons people have to objecting to a Mcdonalds?
I gather the proximity to school thing is a big reason now days although most of the kids in our area get £1 fried chicken instead.
