A MCDONALD'S restaurant in Hereford could soon be open all day, every

day, if licensing chiefs approve the chain's plans.
The fast food restaurant in Belmont Road has asked Herefordshire Council if it can
open 24 hours.

Talking about late night opening, applicant Sarah McLean said two experienced
managers, trained in conflict resolution, will oversee shifts from 11pm to 5am.

She added the Belmont Road restaurant has "historic good links with the local police
that will help with communication of any issues".

Sarah McLean, managing director of franchise McLean Restaurants Ltd, added 31

HD CCTV cameras inside and outside the building monitor all areas of the premises.
She said there will also be hourly litter patrols.

Consultation on the application will end on September 21, but the chain has also
said permanent notices will be placed at the customer order point in the drive-thru
lane and at strategic points around the car park to raise awareness of reducing noise
levels at night out of respect for those living nearby.

Currently, the restaurant is open from 5am to midnight seven days a week.
