  • School bids farewell to ‘exceptional’ caretaker of 14 years

A caretaker has retired after 14 years at Hayesdown First School and has been remembered for his dedicated work in all weathers.

At a recent celebration event to mark his years of service, Tom Roughley was given several gifts to commemorate his time at the school, including a special ‘Golden Broom’ award.

The children also sang You’ll Never Walk Alone, celebrating his Liverpudlian roots and love of Liverpool Football Club.

The school described Tom as an ‘exceptional caretaker and custodian’ who would work in all weathers to ensure the lights were on and the site remained safe, warm and secure.

A spokesperson for the school, Charlotte Button, said, “We held a special assembly to show our gratitude, starting with a poem read by the children in Year 4. This was followed by a specially adapted song sung by the staff, Retire/Together – a re-worked version of Go West/Together by the Pet Shop Boys.

  • Future of Frome and Saxonvale site discussed at Chamber event

The future of business in Frome was discussed at a special networking breakfast last month which brought together local businesses and representatives from Mayday Saxonvale, the local company behind plans to redevelop the town centre site.

Frome Chamber of Commerce hosted the event at the Cheese and Grain which explored ideas around business growth, employment space and economic activity, alongside how firms can have a stronger voice in shaping Frome’s future. The meeting also heard about the vision for Saxonvale site from directors of the Mayday Saxonvale.

Peter Quintana, chair of Frome Chamber, invited attendees to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the town. Four main themes emerged from the discussion: skills and education, transport and infrastructure, support for business growth and community integration and strengthening the local business voice.

  • Concert to raise funds for church renovation

A gala to raise funds for a major church renovation project is being held on Sunday 19th April.

The concert, titled Glorious Baroque, will take place at Christ Church to support Christ Church Future, a project focused on roof repairs and improvements to the main entrance to provide easy access for everyone. The church has applied for permission for the work and hopes renovations will begin in the autumn.

The evening will start with a celebratory reception of fizz and canapés, sponsored by Wayne Kelly Independent Funeral Directors and Latham Scaffolding Ltd, followed by performances from professional musicians giving their time for the cause. Violinist Lucy Hewson will play parts from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, alongside other musicians and soprano Hannah Drury performing operatic arias.

Church Warden Alan Burgess said, “We are so grateful to the musicians for giving their time and offering such a wonderful musical feast. We hope lots of people will join us for what is sure to be a fabulous evening.”

  • Residents urge ‘stronger’ bypass safety measures

Residents have said Somerset Council’s plans to improve safety on the Frome bypass do not go far enough, calling for stronger measures to be introduced.

Last month, Somerset Council shared proposals for the A361 Frome bypass following five fatalities in five years. The plans include lowering the speed limit from 60mph to 50mph, introducing central hatching to narrow lanes where possible, cutting back vegetation to improve visibility, and upgrading road markings.

Residents say the measures will have little impact on reducing the risk of serious accidents. One said, “The reduction in speed limit of 10 miles per hour, with no monitoring measures in place, will have little impact. When we are talking about fatalities, I would want to see stronger measures put in place, and it is disappointing that such measures are not being implemented.”

  • Local vintage transport gathering back this month

The Westbury Transport and Vintage Gathering will return this month for its 32nd year, showcasing military vehicles, stationary engines, tract-ors, bikes, motorbikes and stalls.

The event takes place over the weekend of Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th April at the top field off Westbury Road, near the junction with The Hollow, BA13 4TT.

Event organiser Keith Miller described it as “a great day out for all the family.”

He said, “A short time ago we were able to enjoy the magnificent ploughing match on the opposite side of the road, and we are similarly looking forward to our event.

“No red tape, just turn up. A plaque is always awarded to a notable exhibitor. Last year it went to Ray Davies of Bratton for his continual support and interest.”

  • Town Council bins to be managed by new contractor

A new contractor has been appointed to manage waste across the open spaces run by Frome Town Council, following ongoing con-cerns from residents about overflowing bins.

Councillors voted unanimously at the Full Council meeting on 25th March to award the £56,000 contract to Busy Bees, following issues with bin collections under former contractor idverde and a subsequent nine-month agreement with Somerset Council.

The town council said there were concerns that bins remained unemptied for consecutive days during both these arrangements.

Environment Manager Rob Holden said he was hopeful the new contract would make a significant difference.

“It’s a high bar. I think it will be an incomparable difference between the levels of service between the two operators,” he said.

  • Two deaths at Frome travellers’ site as councillor demands action

By Local Democracy Reporter Daniel Mumby
A Frome councillor has demanded urgent action after two people died at a traveller’s site in the town.

The Pines Residential Site lies on Berkley Lane at the north-eastern edge of Frome, north of the Commerce Park enterprise zone and a short walk from a planned development of 360 homes.

Somerset Councillor Adam Boyden, whose Frome North division includes the site, used a full council meeting to call for an urgent inspection of the site following the death of two of its residents.

The council said it was “investigating concerns” about the site, with Avon and Somerset Constabulary stating that neither death is being treated as suspicious.
