Licence conditions (5)

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. It should be noted that no McDonalds restarant within the United Kingdom serves alcohol and further none odf our drinks or food are srved to customers in glass receptacles. We are eager to work in partnership with all reponsible authorities to ensure the promotion of the four licensing objectives. We also seek to work with the local communities, whom we serve, in achieving a successful cohesion between our business operations and our neighbours.,.
The restaurant is keen to work in partnership with the local police force to prevent crime and disorder. McDonalds operates a robust CCTV policy to ensure compliance with Data Protection Legislation and to assist the Police with the prevention and detection of crime. At all stores where CCTV is in operation appropriate signage reflecting this information is displayed. McDonalds operate digital motion activated CCTV systems where images are retained on a hard drive system. The CCTV equipment will be of a standard suitable to record images of a proper quality, it will meet the industry standard and will have Kalagate Certification. As part of the digital system an alarm will sound if the equipment is faulty or not recording, therby alerting management for the need to intervene. The CCTV system is regularly serviced by qualified maintenance technicians. Access to the CCTV system will be provided to Police Officers at their request. At this restaurant all shift running managers have safety and security training.,.
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 our 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 practicable, with relevant Health and Safety and Fire Safety Legislation. This restarant is subject to inspections from our own safety and security teams to ensure our systems are being maintained. All of our restaurant staff are required to attend comprehensive safety training to ensure that safe working methods are adopted and all staff are trained in evacuation procedure in the event of a fire or other dangerous occurence. This store operates a 'No Open Alcohol Containers' policy to prevent persons carrying open alcohol into the in-store area. Emergency contact mobile telephone numbers are listed in the Business Managers office. This restaurant is keen to work in partnership with the local Fire service and Environmental Health Officer to ensure public safety.,.
mcDonalds were the first company in our sector to introduce litter patrols in the early 1980's. These patrols collect Mcdonalds packaging and other litter within a certain radius of the restaurant. All of McDonalds packaging displays the Bin it symbol to encourage our customers to deal with their waste responsibly. We are happy to act on recommendations from the Environmental Health Officer should they feel that we should extend out patrol to a nearby area, as far as this is reasonably 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 Further details regarding Mcdonalds commitment to reducing waste and litter nuisance can be found at the 'Our World' section of the Mcdonalds website: www, mcdonalds.co.uk/ourworld/environment/policy.shtml.We also have measures 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.,.
McDonalds do not anticipate that children will use the restaurant in the extended hours period covered by this licensing application. We do however take their safety extemely 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 our staff are required to attend comprehensive safety training.,.
