A previous planning agreement meant that the restaurant could open 24/7 for two years before it had to seek further permission

A popular fast food outlet near a city centre retail park is looking to maintain its around-the-clock opening hours.

The McDonald’s Drive Thru restaurant at Morrisons supermarket next to Brotherhood Retail Park has requested permission to maintain its current 24/7 trading hours from Peterborough City Council.

Documents submitted to the council’s Planning Services department on behalf of McDonald’s by Savills real estate services state the application has been made “in order to enable the restaurant to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

The application has been made to offset previous planning permission requirements agreed two years ago.

In 2024, a planning agreement granted around-the-clock opening with a condition (Condition 4) which stipulated the restaurant would revert back to non-24/7 opening times.

It said: “Within 24 months of the date of this decision the site shall cease operating 24 hours, 7 days per week.”

The current application seeks “continued use of the [Lincoln Road] site, without compliance with Condition 4 of the 2024 Permission”.

The application states that the Lincoln Road restaurant’s capability to successfully operate around-the-clock has been evident.

“Over the course of the 24 months, members of the public and the Council have not raised any issues with regard to the additional hours of trading during the temporary period,” Savills noted.

“As such, the 24/7 operations have not caused any disturbance relating to noise or anti-social behaviour.”

The document concludes by saying the proposed extension will “ensure that the restaurant is better able to meet the demands of its established customer base and enhance its overall efficiency”.

The roads have been closed while the bus is recovered from the area.

Rory McIlroy finished in a tie for 12th at the Memorial Tournament but the Northern Irishman is focused on improving ahead of the US Open at Shinnecock Hills

Rory McIlroy has acknowledged feeling “limited” with his driving at present and conceded he needs to improve before next week’s US Open.

The Northern Irishman secured a tie for 12th place on four under par at the Memorial Tournament, finishing alongside Ryder Cup team-mate Justin Rose and world number one Scottie Scheffler.

While he believes most aspects of his game are in solid shape ahead of the third major of the year, which begins on 18 June, McIlroy expressed his disappointment with his driving performance at Muirfield Village.

He managed to hit just 30 of 56 fairways during the tournament, though the six-time major champion is drawing comfort from the fact that conditions at Shinnecock Hills should prove more manageable off the tee.

“It was sort of like two steps forward, one step back,” McIlroy said when reflecting on his performance at the Memorial, which earned him over a quarter of a million pounds.

“Off the tee still wasn’t where I want it to be. I feel limited at the minute. Thankfully the fairways at Shinnecock are a little wider than they are here.

“I need to work on how I’m hitting it off the tee. But everything else, (my) putting felt pretty good for the most part and my iron play and wedges were pretty nice.

“I’ll just try to keep getting a little bit better each and every day heading into Shinnecock.”

McIlroy flew back to the UK on Sunday night and plans to return to the United States this weekend, heading straight to Long Island in New York, where the US Open will take place.

“Overall, (it was) not a bad week, got some good stuff out of it, and I’ve got a week to prep and get ready for Shinnecock,” he added.

MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Boris formed Monday and is expected to bring heavy rain, flooding and possible mudslides to parts of southern Mexico’s Pacific coast, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

Boris was located about 85 miles (135 kilometers) southeast of Acapulco and 50 miles (80 kilometers) southwest of Punta Maldonado, according to the Miami-based weather center. The storm had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph) and was moving northeast at 5 mph (7 kph).

Boris was expected to make a turn to the north, bringing rainfall of 4 to 10 inches (10 to 25 centimeters) to coastal portions of the states of Guerrero and Oaxaca through Monday night.

“This rainfall may produce life-threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in areas of steep terrain,” the center said.

A tropical storm warning was in effect from Laguna de Chacahua in Oaxaca to Tecpan de Galeana in Guerrera, with tropical storm conditions expected in the area within 24 hours.

Boris is the second named storm of the Pacific hurricane season, which started May 15. Tropical Storm Amanda formed June 3 far out to sea, posing no threat to land.

The Atlantic hurricane season began June 1, but no cyclones have formed in that basin yet this year.

The band had previously set their sights on securing their first number with new single, Fever, but guitarist Turnbull Smith said they were “absolutely buzzing” to land the fourth spot.

“We’re absolutely buzzing to be in at number four in the UK official vinyl charts and number five in the physical charts,” he said. “What an achievement.”

Fever was the first single to be released by Skylights since the band announced they would be releasing music independently.

They partnered with Vinyl Eddie in Tadcaster Road to produce the vinyl, which was pressed at Vinyl Press in Monks Cross and recorded at Young Thugs Studio in Southbank.

Skylights were kept off the number one vinyl spot by pop giant Ariana Grande whose new single, Hate That You Made Me Love You, peaked at number one during its first week.

Grande was followed in the official vinyl single charts by Dinner Party by Niall Horan at number two and Down Below by Jayler at number three.

Skylights did, however, chart ahead of rock legends the Rolling Stones whose new single, In the Stars, dropped to number six in the vinyl charts in the song’s third week of release.

Prosecution is about to begin.

Intention today is to outline the case and move onto individual cases from tomorrow. The lead prosecutor at court today is Matthew Cobbe.

Mr Cobbe tells the court: “Kyrees 16 and jarvey 15 died on 22 may 2023 they had been riding an e bike and lost control.. Both suffered catestrophic injuries and died at the scene.”

The prosecuor went on to say that the “terrible news travelled quickly” and that large crowds gathered.

The court hears that body worn cameras captured the grief and distress at the scene.

Supporters of a Commons investigation believe evidence should be taken in Scotland.

A “box office” Westminster inquiry into the Peter Murrell scandal could meet in Edinburgh to put maximum pressure on John Swinney.

House of Commons sources believe bringing any probe to Scotland would make it almost impossible for the SNP not to cooperate.

Murrell, the former SNP chief executive and Nicola Sturgeon’s estranged husband, is facing jail time after he pled guilty to embezzling over £400,000 of party funds.

The SNP’s political rivals, as well as a number of pro-independence figures, believe there should be a separate parliamentary inquiry into the role of Police Scotland and the Crown in the case.

Labour have been pushing for a Holyrood inquiry, but SNP and Green opposition means this option looks to be dead.

A more likely outcome is a probe by Westminster’s Scottish Affairs Committee.

As revealed by the Record last week, the SNP are considering boycotting a Westminster investigation.

However, a number of Labour figures have told the Record any Westminster hearings should be held north of the border, preferably Edinburgh.

Such a move, it is argued, would undermine claims of a London-based committee investigating the SNP.

Supporters of the probe also believe holding hearings on Swinney’s doorstep would make a snub look ridiculous

Labour peer Lord Foulkes said: “There are strong arguments for evidence sessions in Edinburgh, as there would be less of an excuse for John Swinney to appear. It would also remind people that we have two Governments in Scotland.”

“It would be curtains for Swinney’s reputation if he did not cooperate. He would look evasive.”

He said of a Westminster inquiry: “It will be box office”.

Douglas McAllister, the Labour MP for West Dunbartonshire who sits on the Committee, said:

“It’s not unusual for the Scottish Affairs Committee to hold hearings in Scotland.

“Let’s make it as easy as possible for the key witnesses to attend. This is also about restoring public confidence in politics, and rather than hearing evidence down in Westminster which some may regard as remote, let’s bring the Scottish Affairs Committee directly to the people of Scotland.”

If a witness refuses to provide evidence to a Westminster inquiry, a committee can issue a summons.

Defying a summons can lead to a witness being found in contempt for Parliament, with sanctions including admonishments, fines or imprisonment.

The Committee will meet on Tuesday to discuss the potential for a probe into the scandal.

An engineer revealed there’s often a common cause for the annoying problem

British Gas has shared advice for homeowners who use a dishwasher, explaining what to do if they often find bits of food left behind after a wash. According to an engineer, there could be a simple explanation for the issue, and what can be done about it.

Posting on Facebook, British Gas revealed blockages around the spray arms could cause the issue. The post explained: “Tired of your dishwasher leaving bits of food behind? Before you run another cycle, check your spray arms for blockages!”

In the video, a British Gas engineer demonstrated how to complete the check. He told customers: “If your dishwasher is leaving food on the plates, check this before you run it again. Don’t waste electricity running a second cycle.

“The problem is usually your spray arms. Hard water scale and tiny bits of food block the water jets, meaning your dishes don’t get a proper wash. You can actually just pop these arms right off.

“Take a pin or a toothpick and poke it through the blocked holes to clean them out. Give the arm a flush under the tap and clip it back in. You get a perfect clean first time, saving energy and water.”

Homeowners can find more cleaning tips on the British Gas website. Sharing a list of spring-cleaning jobs, the experts highlighted several kitchen appliances that can benefit from regular care. British Gas explained: “Fridge and freezer – remove old food, clean shelves and defrost your freezer.

“Oven and microwave – clean out food debris and wipe down the surfaces. Dishwasher – clean the filter and wipe down the seals on the door. Washing machine – run an empty cycle with white vinegar to remove any mould.”

Additionally, most supermarkets sell dishwasher cleaner designed for regular use. For instance, Tesco sells Tesco Dishwasher Cleaner for £2.70. The description claims: “Eliminates grease and limescale. Helps prevent drain blockages. Tesco dishwasher cleaner. Use once a month for a healthier machine.”

One reviewer praised: “This product left my dishwasher sparkling clean and a lovely fresh smell.” Someone else replied: “Keeps your dishes sparking clean! Great quality; use it monthly to keep the machine fresh.

“Would highly recommend.” Another fan wrote: “Cleaned dishwasher perfectly, smelled clean afterwards. Good price compared to market leader. Value for money.”

However, not everyone was impressed. A different review claimed: “Left a terrible smell in machine which passed on to all utensils and food.”
