Currently, the only McDonald’s restaurant in Hyde area is in Mottram. The US fast-food giant. Bosses say the plan would bring around 120 new jobs to the area. 

Papers read: “We are excited to be bringing forward proposals for a new McDonald’s drive-thru restaurant off Grafton Street in Hyde.

“The creation of a new drive-thru restaurant would also deliver a range of benefits, including significant investment into the local economy and the creation of approximately 120 new jobs, in a range of full and part-time positions.

“We recognise that whilst the site is part of a wider commercial area, there are residential properties nearby. We take our responsibility to our neighbours very seriously and have embedded a range of measures in our emerging proposals to protect the amenity of our neighbours.”
