Welcome to the February edition of Sevenoaks local Oracle.

This edition is the most recent one of our four areas and started back in June 2015. In the first few months we both walked some of the many beautiful streets of Sevenoaks delivering and then eventually recruited a great team of people who have delivered to your door every month. We have had some great advertisers join us and offer you fantastic services too. We have been running the local Oracle for 14 years with great success but sadly, the Sevenoaks edition is no longer financially viable to continue and we would like to focus our efforts on our other 3 editions.

We would like to thank those who have supported us and our advertisers and hope you may continue to use our website which has some of the best local businesses in Kent. 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 encourage our advertisers to ask their customers to send in testimonials if they have done a great job and you will find them on their dedicated page.

We will be increasing our social media presence this year, so please feel free to follow our pages for regular updates and promotions.

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