BRIDGEMEAD: McDonald’s has been granted planning permission for the various signage associated with its new restaurant at the former Abbots Cross service station in Ashworth Road.

As well as the traditional golden arches across the building, there is an array of signs due to arrive for parking, traffic management and the planned drive through.

Among the drive through signs there is a totem with an optional extra to advertise 24-hour opening at the outlet, though the restaurant is yet to decide on its hours.
