My advice on it
is that obviously, McDonalds have no legal obligation to help and nor does the council. They might be persuaded to though if you can get plenty of coverage for the story. Focussing on the positives about what the charity does, which the petition page does well, will likely be more successful than emphasising the negatives - most people are ready enough to hate McDonalds anyway. The ideas above about putting more pressure on the council aren't bad.
Is anyone fund raising to help the charity cover relocation costs? Might be another practical step worth taking in case it doesn't work out.

Thanks
Yes - it's not meant to be negative and ultimately, neither the council nor McDonalds have any legal obligations. It would be a good, positive bit of pr for McDonalds to be seen supporting a charity in such a way - and that's the slant I'm trying to take.
