McDonald's bid to bring in Olympic furniture to Whitchurch restaurant
A small part of the Olympic village could be on its way to Shropshire.
It comes after the owners of a new restaurant in the county applied to reuse furniture from the London Games.
McDonald's wants to use outdoor furniture from one of the restaurants built for this summer's games at the new site in Whitchurch, set to open next year.
The new restaurant and drive-thru at the former Little Chef on Wrexham Road was given the go ahead in August.
Now bosses have changed the layout of the outdoor patio area to incorporate a shelter and terrace furniture from the Olympic Village.
The new additions to the Whitchurch site include round and rectangular tables, an outdoor lounge area, dustbins and division screens.
A spokeswoman for McDonald's said: "We had four restaurants on the Olympic Park and during the 29 days of the Games the restaurants served over 1.75 million meals.
"We constructed all of the equipment, furniture and signage with maximum re-use in mind.
"For example the counter was built in sections so it can be broken up and re-used in other restaurants.
"We identified almost 5,500 individual items from air conditioning units and furniture to light bulbs and switches, and planned a new home for each of them."
In the planning application restaurant bosses said the new outdoor furniture would complement the current plans for the site.
A decision on whether to allow the new outdoor furniture will be made on December 17.
