M & S Blackburn QUEUES formed outside shops and people reported empty shelves similar to those seen at the start of the UK’s first coronavirus lockdown. This comes despite repeated calls not to panic-buy after a new variant of coronavirus in the south-east of England caused France to stop freight travelling from the UK. There were queues in Blackburn town centre but these tended to be due to stores only allowing so many people in at one time. At M&S Blackburn shoppers could be seen patiently waiting to enter the store mid afternoon yesterday. The Blackburn Mall was busier than normal and bosses said they would extend opening hours.
