The petition, opposing the conversion of the disused Iceland supermarket building by Fulford Cross into a McDonald’s, is set to be heard at York Council’s full meeting on Wednesday, July 17.
Fishergate ward’s Cllr Conrad Whitcroft, who is set to deliver the petition, stated in a planning objection the restaurants’ location near a school had not been taken into account.
McDonald’s application stated traffic coming to and from the restaurant would likely be similar to that associated with the current site and the development would create up to 45 jobs.
It comes after plans for the restaurant were first lodged with the council in April.
