Thank you for all your positive comments about our ‘new look’. We know it has made it easier for many of you to find what you are looking for and our advertisers are benefitting from that too. We are sure that you all have different thoughts so any good or bad feedback is always appreciated.

Please don’t forget you can now find the larger colour adverts colour coded as follows: BUSINESS ADVERTISERS, HOME AND GARDEN and PERSONAL AND LEISURE. The category boxes are still at the back of the publication but in a format that helps you a little more.

We are still working on an amazing website that will bring you more assistance to help you find the services you are looking for.

All editions can be found on our current website www.thelocaloracle.co.uk and you can find day to day changes for events or advertisers on facebook.com/ thelocaloracle or Twitter.com/thelocaloracle.

We seem to now have a Summer so have a great time in August with your families and we will be back ready for school in September.

Anna & Jane

We are currently working on a new website too! To see the online version of the local Oracle, Advertisers and local events go to......
