Rutland can’t resist the march of McDonald’s
Looks like the last McDonalds free outpost has been breached! This story tells us:
Rutland has lost its status as the only county in Britain without a McDonald’s restaurant.
At a council meeting last night, the planning and licensing committee voted to approve an application for a 24-hour drive-through restaurant on the outskirts of Oakham.
McDonald’s had said its plans had attracted a “great reception” and would create jobs.
However, not everyone was “lovin’ it”, to use the burger chain’s motto. The rural East Midlands county, England’s smallest, received 55 objections before the decision was granted.
These included a letter from a boy of ten who pointed out how much sugar there was in a milkshake and claimed that “the town will be destroyed”.
