| The White Bear Pub at Tingley - site of the proposed McDonalds Take-away |
The McDonald's Take-away proposal at Tingley has again raised its ugly head. The application has been well and truly refused planning permission on 4 separate occasions - with one being via a failed appeal to a planning inspector.
How do they get away with this outrageous behaviour? Apparently they have found a legal loophole they can exploit which allows them to try and grind down local residents by using their significant power and wealth to bully communities into submission. Their lack of respect for local people is as unacceptable as their greasy burgers and is just as difficult to digest.
But the most cynical of their actions is to launch this further dodgy application at the beginning of the summer holidays probably in the forlorn hope that - as people are away enjoying the summer - no one will notice it has been put in and objections to this appalling application will evaporate.
There is no chance of that happening. We will be leafleting the 1500 homes around the area with new objections forms to make sure we maximise opposition to this proposal. It is difficult to get residents fired up again as many people think that opposition is futile and McDonald's will grind out planning permission sooner or later. We don't accept this. We can and we must prevent a McDonald's take-away blighting this residential area with all the associated problems a fast food take-away will bring.
Resistance is not futile. Let's gear ourselves up for yet another battle.
