Green Councillor Lucy spoke up at the Planning Committee against an application that will create more gridlock, litter and harm to health.
The application is for a McDonald's next to the new micro-brewery on Paula Radcliffe way. The site will be open 24-hrs and have a drive-through facility.
The council spend money on easing congestion at the nearby roundabout and then add something that is likely to add congestion back.
How anybody in 2021, with the threat of climate change and the public health crisis of obesity, can think that yet another McDonald's in that, or any location, is a good idea, is a complete mystery to Bedford's Green Party
