Police have reportedly been called to a popular McDonald's and are "asking people to leave", as customers ignore social distancing guidelines.

Pictures taken at the fast food restaurant in Barnwell on the Newmarket Road roundabout show officers inside McDonald's assisting with large queues of customers.

According to a delivery driver, outside the restaurant the drive-through traffic is backing up on to the main road while customers inside ignore the social distancing marks outlined on the floor.

A Cambridge resident said her boyfriend was at McDonald's in order to pick up food for deliveries when he spotted police "telling people to leave.".

She said: "This makes me so angry. What don't people understand about distancing? Or only going out when necessary?

"These are photos my partner has taken, he is a delivery driver which is why he was there, he is now having to wait outside for the food so he can then deliver to the customers, people really are selfish.

"Drive-through traffic is backing up Barnwell Road and inside the restaurant people are ignoring the squares clearly marked on the floor.

"Police have been called to remove people from the restaurant as there are too many people. They have been telling people to leave.

"There were around 40 - 50 people but now it's about 15 after police arrived."

Cambridgeshire Police have been contacted for a comment.
