Dear Readers

Firstly, thank you for the emails and Facebook messages we have received congratulating us on our 12th birthday!

We will be increasing our distribution slightly again this month so if you are looking at new areas to advertise in, then we would love to help. We are increasing the Sevenoaks area to include Kemsing and then in April we will be increasing our Aylesford/Barming edition further into Maidstone.

If you have a business that you would like to tell the local residents about, then please do give us a call; we would love to hear from you and will do all we can to promote you further.

Each edition can be found on our website along with more details of advertisers by category and we have a calendar with more events if you would like to travel further afield. www.thelocaloracle.co.uk Anna & Jane Suite 23, 10 Churchill Square Business Centre, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent ME19 4YU TEL
