‘Loitering and crime’ fears over new McDonald’s

by Elizabeth

Plans for McDonald’s to open a third restaurant in a town have caused concerns it will lead to increased "traffic, loitering and crime".

The fast food chain plans to open the premises at the former TGI Friday's site on Gloucester Road in Cheltenham and has applied for permission to serve food and drink from 23:00 to 00:00 every day.

Cheltenham mayor and county councillor David Willingham objected to the scheme saying residents were concerned it would increase crime and disorder.

A McDonald's representative said they were keen to work in partnership with police and they will have CCTV on site.
