A Shropshire market town is to get its first McDonald's after a planning application was granted by council officials.
The application to bring the fast food giant to the Chartwell Business Park in Bridgnorth was granted by Shropshire Council on July 7.
The new fast food and coffee outlets are expected to bring around 135 jobs to the area, according to the applicants, Chartwell Development Limited. Jonathan Andrew Harper added:"Yes, that will cut down the CO2 emissions of us all having to travel to Telford, Wolverhampton or Kidderminster, for our McDonald's.
However, not all residents of Bridgnorth have backed the plans as concerns about litter and anti-social behaviour were submitted to planners at Shropshire Council.
