News the local

Welcome to the March edition which marks the arrival of Spring at last!

Suite 23, 10 Churchill Square Business Centre, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent ME19 4YU Jane Accounts/Sales t: 01732 525805 Anna Artwork/Sales t: 01732 525806 info@thelocaloracle.co.uk www.thelocaloracle.co.uk Cut off dates for advertising in the April editions are: • Malling 15th March • Maidstone 20th March • Tonbridge 20th March

It might also be worth mentioning that it is Mother’s Day on Sunday 22nd March and you might wish to book a meal out or maybe treat her to a job in the home or garden being done. We have every type of trade required to keep the house running smoothly so why not give one of them a call.

Some advertisers have seasonal offers but all of them are local and have your interests at heart. If you have a particular favourite and a testimonial about their work, please do email into us and we will include it on the website. You will see a number on the website already.

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. If there is a category you can’t find then do let us know and we will try and find one!

All the best to you all and have a great month.
