Longcol   594 #25 Posted June 17, 2016 i was just pointing out there are 24hr mc donalds outside of the city centre, I'm more concerned about the traffic problems it will cause.  I'd have thought the Morrisons just up the road would attract far more traffic - certainly the case at Hillsborough.  What %age increase in traffic will a McDonalds bring? Reckon we're looking at low single figures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

*_ash_*   88 #27 Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) To All Residents and business owners of The Common/Greenlane Area of Ecclesfield. Sheffield City Council are considering planns to allow a 24 hour McDonalds on the site of the old police training building at the Junction of The Common and Green Lane. Several people have already lodged objections Please do the same BEFORE JUNE 22nd by visiting  You will need to Click on "register" and fill out your details. Once you have confirmed your registration you can search for 16/01781/FUL register you objection and leave a comment.  Some potential problems include  Traffic congestion in an area already troubled with congestion due on street parking by staff from the bus depot, and other surrounding businesses + buses waiting their standing times and driver swap overs. Excessive waiting times at the traffic-lights due to access to Morrisions via traffic lights especially at peak traffic times. South Yorshire Police have a Sub Divisional HQ next door and increased congestion may very well negativly impact on police vehicles ability to access their HQ The problems the constant smell of fast food, litter, unwanted gangs of youths, noise and the eyesore of a 24 hour Light up McDonalds sign on 24 hours a day Also McDonalds have only informed the 10 closest addresses to the proposed site which I feel is very sneaky as it has a much wider impact on the area than that  Traffic congestion in this area could be eased if the signal sequence/filter system at the Travellers wasn't absolutely ridiculous.  They could build a McDonalds, a KFC, and a football stadium in the area and things would move faster than now if they altered this to make sense.

It's the sequence and filtering IMO, as I said.  If McD paid for alterations, and that included that the sequence being reprogrammed to make sense, then I'll be voting in favour of it, since the council don't care now.  I suppose McDonalds will pay for the road alterations? like Sainsbury's did? not sure whether that made things better or worse  It's worse at this junction now, but wasn't suggesting a new junction at Eccles.

Revel   10 #32 Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) It will be a halal McDonald's franchise according to someone I know, thanks for your support!  I'm afraid McDonalds have already confirmed they won't be serving halal meat in the UK.  http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/ukhome/whatmakesmcdonalds/questions/food/halal/why-doesnt-mcdonalds-offer-halal-food.html  http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/ukhome/whatmakesmcdonalds/questions/food/halal/why-cant-you-offer-halal-food.html Edited June 17, 2016 by Revel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
