Cars were queued down towards Trafalgar Street as the Burnham Gate restaurant opened its drive-thru for the first time in 10 weeks.

The Burnley Asda location also reopened its drive-thru this morning, although the town centre restaurant in St James' Street remains closed.

McDonald’s and its franchisees are working closely with local authorities and the police, and may determine that it is necessary to close drive-thru lanes if queues cause disruption at busier sites or put employees or customers at risk.

The fast food giant has introduced a number of changes to their restaurants, including social distancing in kitchens and Perspex screens at drive-thrus. Customers are being encouraged to pay by contactless.
