Well let’s hope that is the last of the snow and freezing cold weather! Some of our distribution ran a couple of days late in March due to some ice cold pavements but we know they managed to get there during the days inbetween.

Again we have some great new advertisers this month who can help you with all the jobs you wrote on a list whilst eating your Easter eggs with your feet up!

Please do continue to send in your great reviews of advertisers if you have experienced some great work or customer service. We can put it on their advert page on the local Oracle website which helps everyone concerned.

If you are looking for a particular service, all you need to do is go to thelocaloracle.co.uk and input the category you are looking for with your postcode to find the nearest advertiser to you.

We have been increasing our social media presence so please do like and share on our page. If people ask for local recommendations and you have used an advertiser from the local Oracle, please do tell everyone about them and where you found them.

Thank you and have a great month.
