  • Batsford Timber celebrates 37 years in business Family-run timber business Batsford Timber is marking 37 years in business, continuing to serve customers across Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and the surrounding areas. Known for reliable service and quality products, the company offers a wide range of fencing and outdoor timber materials, along with onsite commercial timber treatment solutions, giving customers everything they need under one roof. Founded in 1989 by Bob Clark, a fencing contractor working across the Midlands and Cotswolds, the company was born out of frustration at the difficulty of sourcing reliable, high-quality fencing and timber materials. Spotting a gap in the market, Bob launched Batsford Timber to provide the products and service he had struggled to find himself. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

The counter was designed by Rye Bakery owner Owen Postgate in partnership with Somer Furniture, a local company that makes sustainable cabinetry.

  • Have your say on travel, transport and getting around Residents are invited to share their views and experiences of how they move and travel around Frome and surrounding areas as part of a new travel and transport plan. The new Frome Area Movement and Place Plan is being developed by Frome Town Council with Somerset Council and neighbouring parishes. It will look at how people move around Frome and the surrounding area, how communities are connected and how access to jobs, education, healthcare, shops, services and leisure opportunities can be improved. During summer there will be opportunities for residents to share their views on issues such as walking, cycling, public transport, road safety, accessibility, parking and connections between villages and nearby towns.

  • Frome teen wins pickleball silver after injury comeback A teenager from Frome has won a silver medal at a national pickleball championship just months after returning to the sport following a serious arm injury. Kai Santano, 15, competed in the Young Persons Championships at Courtside in Stourbridge in June, taking second place in the mixed-age doubles category alongside 11-year-old Seb Oprea. The result comes only four months after Kai returned to play following surgery for a double break to his left arm and a partial wrist dislocation, sustained while skateboarding in Victoria Park just one week before he was due to compete in the National Championships. His mum Laurie said, “He absolutely destroyed his arm and was in a full cast from October until December. He wasn’t allowed to do any contact sports until 1st February. He’s done really well to get back into it.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio. Pictured: Kai at the Young Person’s Championships with partner Seb, and after breaking his arm

The Green Flag Award was presented after judges visited in April, who explored the wide range of activities, facilities and community projects that take place across the parks and how they are managed by Frome Town Council. Assessors praised the parks’ welcoming atmosphere, strong community involvement and features such as the toddler play area, community bowls club, murals, a carved bench created from a heritage tree felled in 2025 due to a fungal infection and the community cafe.
