A McDonald's in west London faced significant community opposition when it sought to extend its opening hours to 3am on weekends. Over 160 objections were submitted, highlighting fears about noise from late-night deliveries and increased crime rates in the area. The existing license allowed for operations until midnight. After extensive discussions with residents and local authorities, the proposal was ultimately denied, emphasizing community priorities over corporate interests.
Locals feared the potential consequences if the extension was granted by Hammersmith and Fulham Council.
At a marathon five-and-a-half hours Licensing Sub-Committee meeting, residents, ward councillors, and a local MP lined up to request the proposal be denied.
