Kent’s newest McDonald’s is set to open earlier than expected. The US fast food giant will take up a prime position at Chatham Dockside in a major boost to the shopping centre’s plans to become a “regional retail and leisure destination”. Work is underway to transform the unit formerly occupied by long-standing tenant Choice, which relocated elsewhere in the outlet. It will be the eighth McDonald’s franchise in Medway, the last opening at Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre last March.

He announced his departure on social media on Thursday, just days after a visit to Kent where he was launching his Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) team to look into the county council’s finances after taking control of the local authority in May.
