Plymouth McDonald's drive-thru to get revamp so hungry motorists don't have to queue onto busy road

A MCDONALD'S drive-thru in Plymouth is to get bigger - because it is so popular that cars are queuing up to get in. Fast food chain bosses have applied to change the layout of the drive-thru at the branch in Plymstock. There will also be new roof cladding and a customer order display, along with the extra order point. The Pomplett Road burger restaurant has asked Plymouth City Council for the go-ahead to start work - and a decision will be made following a public consultation period which ends on December 29. According to planning documents the planned revamp is "to streamline and formalise the ordering process during peak trading times without the need to have members of staff outside of the building", which is at the entrance to the Morrisons supermarket. It adds: "This will also assist in reducing the length of the potential queue, by increasing the speed of preparing the orders and thus reducing congestion within the site during those busy periods."
