The Knox Journal last week, on its website, asked readers whether or not McDonald's be permitted to build a new restaurant in Knoxfield.

58 per cent of voters said a McDonald's outlet should be allowed in Knoxfield. 42 per cent of voters said no.

Vote in this week's poll, right, on whether VCAT right to disallow the healing centre in Augusta Road.

Well do the 58% of voters live next door to the site? I do and I object to living next door to a 24hour restaurant. I wonder was your poll taken in the Knoxfield area especially around the area of the site. I'm sure you would get a different result if it was. Did you ask them if it was next door to their house?? The media are always going on about too much fast food and the obesity problems we have, this will just contribute to it. I say put in something to enhance residents lifestyle not hinder it.

Stop your sooking. Knoxfield Maccas is gonna be mad. You're the only person in the world who doesn't dream of having Mmaccas next door. So just move. I'll have your house.

NO! If Maccas builds a restaurant there, all those other minor shops that have been there for over 20-40 years have worked so hard and with Maccas there those shops will lose buisness and in the end the only shops that will be there are Maccas and the newsagent. Macca's have a lot of restaurants, they don't need to make more people fatter and depressed. Maccas may be nice to eat but in the long-run Maccas are basically taking over the food world. GO AWAY FROM MY NEIGHBOURHOOD McDONALDS!
