McDonald's has not given up on establishing a restaurant in
Mosgiel.
A McDonald's spokeswoman said the restaurant chain was
reviewing the economic viability of its intended site at 14
Hartstonge Ave and alternative sites, because of the
restrictive trading conditions attached to the 14 Hartstonge
Ave resource consent.
Consent for the Hartstonge Ave site was given in late 2009,
but a condition restricting opening hours prompted the
rethink by the company.
Nearby residents opposed the plan because of the effects of
noise, traffic, glare and lighting.
"We can, however, confirm that McDonald's remains committed
to being part of the Mosgiel community," she said.
