General
This restaurant understands that in extending our opening hours we have a duty to the local community and that we continue to protect our staff and customers from danger and harm. We believe that the systems we have in place are robust, thorough and will, as far as reasonably practicable, secure the promotion of the four licensing objectives.
We are eager to work in partnership with all responsible authorities to ensure the promotion of the four licensing objectives.
Prevention of Crime and Disorder
This restaurant is keen to work in partnership with the local police force to prevent crime and disorder.
At this restaurant all shift running managers have safety and security training. This restaurant will maintain a CCTV system in operation on the premises while open to the public. CCTV images will be held for a period of 28 days and access to the CCTV system will be provided to Police Officers and Council Officers at their request.
Public Safety
This restaurant has safety systems in place to protect the safety of customers and staff at all times. These systems are regularly reviewed and updated where appropriate. In line with current legislation all restaurants are routinely inspected by the Local Environmental Health Office and we work with them and the local Fire service to ensure we are complying, as far as reasonably practical, with relevant Health and Safety and Fire Safety Legislation. This restaurant is subject to inspections from our own safety and security teams to ensure our systems are being maintained.
This restaurant is keen to work in partnership with the Local Fire Service and Environmental Health Officer to ensure public safety.
Public Nuisance
McDonald’s were the first company in our sector to introduce litter patrols in the early 1980's. These patrols collect McDonald’s packaging and other litter within a certain radius of the restaurant. We are happy to act on recommendations from the Environmental Health Officer should they feel that we should extend our patrol to a nearby area, as far as this is reasonable practicable. Our pioneering stance on litter patrols has meant working on a project with DEFRA, in which we piloted 'reducing litter caused by food on the go', a voluntary code of practice for local partnerships. A copy of which can be found at www.defra.gov.uk/environment/localenv/litter/pdf/fastfoodcop.pdf.
We also ensure measures are in place to limit noise. Our doors are self closing and we try to encourage our customers to be considerate to our neighbours and limit noise both when ordering their food and on leaving the local area.
The Protection of Children From Harm
McDonald’s do not anticipate that children will use the restaurant in the extended hour's period covered by this licensing application. We do however take their safety extremely seriously and will continue to employ the same practices to ensure that they are protected from harm at all times when visiting the restaurant.
All of our restaurant staff are required to attend comprehensive safety training.
