McDonalds Coming to Devizes?!

Okay, it was the April Fools joke I broke the Internet with in 2021, but it’s not the 1st of April today…..

Bishop’s Cannings Parish Council announced that they are “aware” of a proposal for a new McDonald’s drive-thru restaurant on the site of the Murco garage at Cannings Hill. 

They explained a dedicated website has been set up by the applicant which states that a planning application has been submitted to Wiltshire Council.  

which states that a planning application has been submitted to Wiltshire Council.

The Parish Council said it will “review the application once it appears on the Wiltshire Council planning portal and will update residents in due course.”

McDonald’s says it “has long wanted to expand its offer of amazing value and high-quality British food into Devizes to address an identified demand for a new McDonald’s in the area.”

“The proposed site is located at the former Murco Garage on Horton Road, just off the A361/Horton Road Roundabout in Devizes.”

“Our submitted proposals seek to transform this underutilised site into a modern employment generating facility, that serves local residents, whilst contributing to the wider economy of the Wiltshire area.”

Whether you’re lovin’ it or not, McDonalds will bring jobs for young people, and I believe that’s something to consider.

Me? I’m mentioning it for clickbait, but let’s not get over excited yet; no Big Mac orders will be taken today; it’s early days!!
