Work underway on new McDonald’s in Chesterfield
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The restaurant and drive-thru will open at the site of the former multi-storey car park on West Bars on an as yet unspecified date.
Sixty-five jobs will be created when the fast food giant opens at the location.


It will be its third outlet in the town.

“The challenge is making the takeaway service less environmentally damaging, more eco friendly and limiting litter but I’m sure McDonald’s will work with us to achieve that.”
On our Facebook page, however, a number of residents questioned whether the town needs another McDonald’s.
