A FAST FOOD giant is aiming to create a restaurant and takeaway at a pub site – just a stone’s throw from Whiston Hospital.

Plans have been submitted to demolish the Green Dragon, at the junction of Dragon Lane and Warrington Road, Whiston, and replace it with a KFC drive-thru restaurant.

The proposals, which are being considered by Knowsley Council, include associated parking, access, landscaping and planting.

Consultation runs until November 28.
