The team attended the South West Regional First Tech Challenge in Bristol, where they were tasked with designing and building a robot capable of collecting and scoring artefacts into a target. The First Tech Challenge is a competition enabling young people to develop skills and broaden understanding of STEM education and career pathways. After repairing some minor damage to their machine upon arrival, the team held first place for most of the day. However, they were beaten in the final round, finishing third overall.

  • Initiative launches to improve river’s health An initiative to help residents take practical action for the River Frome’s health has launched. Frome Families for the Future is running the project as part of their River Vision Project, aiming to protect the river by reducing chemicals and water use while helping residents save money. Coordinator Lizzie Venning said, “The campaign features beautifully designed posters created by local artist Tamsyn Gill, offering everyday tips that, when done as a community, can make a big difference to our town’s precious river. “The River Vision Project has developed a series of five posters and a postcard with simple, everyday tips you can try at home. “The River Frome plays an important role in managing climate challenges like flooding and drought. A healthy river purifies our drinking water, supports biodiversity, helps regu-late temperatures and improves mental health." Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • 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. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • 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.

  • 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.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio. Pictured: Alison Townley, planner of the Christ Church Gala concert
  • 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.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • 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.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • 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. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio. Pictured: Cllr Mark Dorrington
