News the local

Dear Readers

We have had a really busy month this month so you will find lots of new advertisers selling their services. Don’t forget that the advertisers with a colour advert will also have a page on our website where you can find out more information about them.

This is proving helpful for many of our readers so see if it works for you.

Valentine’s Day is approaching so why not treat your loved one to something different! You can find chocolate, cars, beauty treatments, hairstyling, jewellers, and much more here or on our website!

Please see our online calendar along with the latest online version of the local Oracle. www.thelocaloracle.co.uk.

Have a great month!
