There are an estimated 39 drive thrus currently in the city made up of McDonald’s, KFC, Starbucks, Burger King, Costa and Greggs.
Tighter planning rules to limit the building of new drive-thrus in Glasgow have been given a mixed reception by councillors, with one branding the plans 'anti jobs'.
The Neighbourhoods, Housing & Public Realm City Policy committee this week was presented with the guidance, which “will prevent additional drive thrus within town centres and local centres which do not include existing retail parks or large areas of surplus car parking with existing car-borne traffic.”
“I’m glad to see the agreed guidance adopted and take forward measures to tackle the climate emergency, whilst turning our focus to supporting sustainable local economies at the same time.” He added: “Nobody denies the need to tackle the emissions output across the city, but this simply isn’t the way to go about that.”
