A GLOBAL fast food chain has revealed plans to build a new purpose-built restaurant in Ayrshire.
McDonald's say they plan to relocate from their current drive-through facility, in an existing unit at the Hawkhill Retail Park in Stevenston, to a new building in the southern section of the adjacent car park.
The work is being carried out in partnership with Waypoint Asset Management - and local residents will have a chance to look over the plans next week.
The development comprises a modern free-standing single-storey McDonald’s restaurant with drive-through lane, car parking, and other associated works, including customer order displays.
In addition to the 126 staff currently employed in the store, the £4m development will create an additional 20 full time and part roles, together with new jobs throughout the construction phase.
Members of the public will be able to learn more information about the proposals at the public consultation next Tuesday, March 12 between 2-6pm at St John’s Church, in Hayocks Road, Stevenston.
The opportunity for members of the public to provide feedback will remain open until Sunday, March 31.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
