A new McDonald s has been officially opened in Lowestoft by a prominent fundraiser who had previously worked on the site for many years.
The restaurant opened on Wednesday, April 21 at the site of a former garage off Mill Road at Horn Hill in Lowestoft.
Keen fundraiser Janet Ellis, who has raised more than £350,000 for charity and numerous worthy causes alongside friend Zoiyar Cole, opened it on her birthday.
Mrs Ellis had helped friend Zoiyar Cole set up the Paul Cole Cancer Fund in memory of Mrs Cole’s late son.

Two fantastic fundraisers have once more ensured groups and charities will share thousands of pounds after their knitting and poetry exploits sparked a wave of donations.
An amazing £5,000 has been donated to charities across Waveney and Great Yarmouth after Pakefield fundraisers Zoiyar Cole and Janet Ellis got to work.
Having marked 20 years of fundraising this year after the Paul Cole Cancer Fund was set up in memory of Mrs Cole’s son in 2000, many groups, organisations and individuals have benefitted from the remarkable voluntary work.
