South Tyneside Council's planning department has approved an application for the McDonald's restaurant at the Boldon Entertainment leisure complex off Abingdon Way, which houses Sambuca and Tim Hortons restaurants and Cineworld.

Plans from McDonald's Restaurants Limited aimed to refurbish the restaurant and speed up service with a number of proposed changes.

This included "alterations to the drive thru lane and parking bays for the introduction of side-by-side ordering, to include a paved island for signage and amended kerb lines".
