Exciting news for Bridgend! A fresh new McDonald’s may be on the horizon at Dainton Business Park, pending approval. This new spot has the potential to create up to 110 much-needed jobs for the community and generate between £50,000 to £60,000 annually in business rates for local services.
Strategically positioned near other businesses, the proposed fast-food joint aims to revitalise an empty site along Coity Road. The plans include a sleek single-storey restaurant complete with a drive-thru lane, 32 parking spaces, including two accessible bays, and three electric vehicle charging points. For those on two wheels, fear not! There are two spaces for motorcycles and six for bicycles. And yes, it’s all within easy reach by foot, bike, or bus.
The local community has had their say during a public consultation, with many expressing excitement over the new employment opportunities and the choice of nearby food options. With positive feedback rolling in, McDonald’s is thrilled to expand its presence and offer more of what locals love.
Next up, the council’s development control committee will review the plans, and residents are encouraged to share their views. This proposed drive-thru could transform the site into a modern, sustainable hangout, all while beefing up local job prospects. More than just a fast-food joint, it’s a delightful addition to Bridgend that promises a boost to the local economy and a convenient new place to grab your favourite Big Mac.
Stay tuned as we watch this space for a potential golden arches debut in Bridgend, bringing tasty meals and job opportunities to the local community! 🍔🎉
