It’s been a busy month here in the office with some new and exciting advertisers coming on board so do have a browse through. So many in fact that we have added a few more pages!

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. 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.
