HAVE YOUR SAY!
McDonald’s UK (Head Office) is the owner and operator of the drive-through restaurant at Green Lanes, Haringey, N4 1DR. This year they made a planning application for: “minor refurbishment with the replacement of one booth window, a new access door, and the rebuilding of the existing back-of-house facility, with associated works to the site.................... ”
Last month, unbelievably poor judgement resulted in the rapid felling of all mature boundary trees without seeking guidance or permission (during a scorching heatwave!) to be swiftly replaced with plastic grass.
Trees provide us with the very air that we breathe, they cool our environment, and they create a habitable and seasonal neighbourhood that we can all share and enjoy. We have asked Alistair Macrow (CEO of McDonald’s UK) and Jenny McColloch (VP Sustainability) to explain how this sits with their stated policies and their restaurant’s place in our community. So has your MP.
Challenge your local councillors Mike.Hakata@haringey.gov.uk (Climate Action/ Enviornment) & Julie.Davies@haringey.gov.uk (Communities £ Civic Life)
Please demand that shade trees are replanted on this site for the benefit of everyone in our neighbourhood.

Film report of the protest in this follow-up article plus some new revelations that this may have been part of a planned McDonald's strategy to tear down trees and vegetation across the UK to improve visibility of their outlets!
