A British town is about to be treated to its eighth McDonald\u2019s<\/a>, all within walking distance of each other. <\/p>\n

Bolton, in Greater Manchester<\/a>, will see a new restaurant open on Cutacre Way, which is an employment park in an area off the A6 Salford Road. <\/p>\n

This new site will be just an 11 minute drive from McDonald\u2019s on Manchester Road and just nine minutes away from a second on Derby Street. <\/p>\n

Two Zebra crossings are also set to be built to help control the flow of diners, along with 30 new parking spaces, MEN reports.<\/p>\n

A design and access statement revealed: \u2018The design concept for the proposal centres on the delivery of a high-quality development that supports local demand for a McDonald\u2019s restaurant.<\/p>\n

\u2018It has been designed with an attractive modern aesthetic which reflects the character of the retail and commercial uses in the wider area.\u2019<\/p>\n

The restaurant chain said the new restaurant will provide 80 jobs for the area. <\/p>\n

Bolton Council approved the plans on March 12, and is part of McDonald\u2019s biggest expansion with 200 new restaurants over the next four years.<\/p>\n

Basingstoke, in Hampshire, has the next highest proportion of restaurants all within seven miles of each other. <\/p>\n

Other cities with a large amount of McDonald\u2019s across the country include in order London, Glasgow, Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol, Nottingham and Leicester.<\/p>\n

In protest over the opening of yet another branch of McDonald\u2019s in Basingstoke, Hampshire, nutrition coach Matthew Cowell staged demonstrations dressed up as a doctor outside the latest branch in October 2024.<\/p>\n

He said: \u2018The fourth one opened in May, and that kind of caught my attention and when the fifth one was introduced so quickly after, that just made me think the town is moving in the wrong direction.\u2019<\/p>\n

Matthew handed out leaflets to people about heart disease before they went in and ate up their burgers.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think you can drive around Basingstoke in about 15 minutes and you can see all five,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

\u2018It doesn\u2019t sit right with me, the manner in which we have a health crisis and at the same time we\u2019re making it harder for ourselves with this.<\/p>\n

\u2018There\u2019s a real lack of healthy options around here which makes it even worse.\u2019<\/p>\n
