Thank you to everyone for the positive feedback on our new design. However, we have had mixed opinions on the new paper and for this reason we have decided to go back to the glossy look for three months and compare your feedback. Please do let us know which you prefer. We have plenty of advertisers waiting to help get you ready for the winter seasons ahead. We have put all our BUSINESS ADVERTISERS together, we have a HOME AND GARDEN section and then PERSONAL AND LEISURE. The category boxes at the back of the publication give you information on ALL of our advertisers. Anyone who has had a new website developed will know that it always takes longer than anticipated and ours is no different! We hope it will be ready for you in the early part of October now so please do check in from time to time to see how it can help you. As always, we welcome any feedback. 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 look forward to receiving your feedback and interacting with you on social media if that works for you.

We are currently working on a new website too! To see the online version of the local Oracle, Advertisers and local events go to......
