There was bad news for fast food aficionados as Grangemouth McDonalds closed its doors to customers.

The popular drive through restaurant, at Earls Gate Roundabout, will be closed for the next six weeks until Wedesday, October 26 to allow refurbishment work to be carried out at the premises.

Back in July the busy branch was given the green light by Falkirk Council to add a further 49 square metres to the restaurant.

It was stated the restaurant will also install a new sliding entrance door and introduce a new access door, while the back of house area will be extended by 22.2 square metres and clad to match existing finishes.

Minor alterations being undertaken include kerb lines being added, with the patio area extended.

The changes mean a reduction in parking spaces from 32 to 31.
