I READ of the fears expressed by the residents of Wood Street-Park Street area of Kidderminster over the planning application for a McDonald's restaurant.

The same fears were expressed by some residents down here at Hoobrook but they turned out to be totally unfounded.

There are no traffic problems because, as one car enters another leaves, creating a steady movement - not all at once.

The restaurant has cleaned up a very scruffy area, just like the one suggested, and McDonald's litter-pick the area.
