With snow heading our way again we thought it would be really helpful to round up the best of our winter offers for you!

Not only will you be getting excellent products or services from the town's best recommended businesses, you'll also beat those January blues.

Safety first! To combat cold conditions Complete Driveway Designs are now stocking salt and sand, which is vital for preventing slips and trips. They also offer Envirothaw, a great alternative to traditional de-icers. Envirothaw is particularly useful if you've got a pattern imprinted driveway that might be damaged by salt or sand.

A chilly turn in the weather can often be the harbinger of the dreaded cold, flu and other ailments that you'd rather avoid. However, if you don't manage to escape this season's germ-fest you can always pop down to Forman's Chemist, who are offering a fantastic 10% discount on all products until the end of January.

Snow, ice and general cold conditions can often cause problems with your plumbing, so it might be an idea to keep Tony from AB Plumbing as a contact in your phone. Tony is also offering exclusive deals especially for the winter season, such as a power flush, boiler service and Magna Clean from just £450 or a new combi boiler fitted for only £1,000 - this even includes a 5 year parts and labour warranty.

If you went one mince pie too far over Christmas then the Free 3 Day Test Drive offer for Village Hotel Bury's state of the art leisure facilities could be the kick you need to get back in shape. Visitors to the hotel's feature can also browse through some fantastic January deals, such as a sale on tribute nights, treatments at Healthworks Spa and on dining.

Those looking for a real treat to combat January blues should pay a visit to one of our newest members, Leelawadee Authentic Thai Massage and Spa. They offer a range of luxurious treatments, which are available with a 25% discount until the end of the month!

Motorists won't have to worry about winter woes either, as Grimshaws can provide you with a winter safety check for just £35. This exclusive deal includes a 25 point safety check, vital fluid top ups and a free winter care pack worth £20. Customers of M & M Autocentre can book a free winter check with Gerry and his team, who will check your vehicle's oil, water, windscreen wash, antifreeze and tyres.

What if you don't want to risk driving? If you're not confident driving on ice or snow why not just leave it someone else? The drivers at Elton Bullitt and Farebay Taxis & Private Hire are all experienced in getting you around safely in adverse weather conditions, so why not save yourself the hassle and give them a call?

Now that we're at the end of this rather frosty-themed blog, all that's left to say is be safe and have fun. Snowballs at the ready! Go on, you're never too old.
