After a busy 2016 with many changes to the business we are raring to go for a great 2017. Most businesses that we speak to were busy right up to Christmas and had bookings coming in from the local Oracle so this year we hope to help more local businesses expand to help more residents. If you use a local business who doesn’t appear in the local Oracle, please do give them our details and maybe even your copy! We pride ourselves in being a publication that is easy to use and there ready when you need it by the phone. We encourage businesses that have a good reputation and work ethically with their clients and we are always pleased to receive feedback good and bad. 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 will keep you up to date with future exciting changes and look forward to hearing your thoughts.
