💨 Abstract

Louth, Lincolnshire residents are upset with McDonald's for starting home deliveries, fearing it will harm small local businesses. Stephanie Brown, owner of the Toadstool takeaway, saw a 75% drop in takings and laid off two staff. Other business owners report similar declines, with concerns that McDonald's will further expand its delivery hours. Brown launched a petition to ban such deliveries in small towns.
