MCDONALD’S in Dovercourt has donated 150 books to the Save Manningtree Library Group.

The group, alongside other library groups throughout Essex, is taking part in a young people’s march on Saturday, April 27.

McDonald’s in Dovercourt decided to donate the books for the march.

Diane Geden, from Save Manningtree Library Group, said: “McDonald’s has very kindly donated some books for us to give to the children as part of a goody bag at the end of the march.

“We would like to thank them for supporting our community effort.”

Craig Newnes, McDonald’s franchisee, said: “As a local businessman I am happy and proud to support Diane’s library event. McDonald’s Dovercourt hopes it’s a great day for her and the children.”
