The opening of a fourth McDonald s in Ashford will create traffic chaos on one of the town s busiest roundabouts, according to critics.
Bosses at the burger giant want to turn a plot of undeveloped land off the notoriously congested Chart Road into a 136-seater site, creating more than 65 jobs.
McDonaldâs says the site represents an âappropriate locationâ for a 24-hour restaurant
They submitted a planning application to Ashford Borough Council in September, but the project has sparked an angry backlash from concerned residents who fear the landmark âtank roundaboutâ will be unable to cope with the extra demand.
