New parking restrictions are to be introduced around two McDonald's restaurants after complaints about 'disgraceful' and 'dangerous' parking by delivery drivers.
Locals and councillors say the huge rise in the numbers of people having the popular fast food delivered after the Covid lockdowns has created huge problems with "nuisance parking" around the two branches in Stockport.
They claim those picking up orders from the busy eatery on Wellington Road South are blocking pavements on both the A6 and Station Road, and as a result, are causing hazards and blighting one of the key entrances into the town centre. There have also been reports of drivers parking on and around a service road on the pedestrianised stretch of the shopping area that the Merseyway branch sits on.
