  • Local leaders meet for inaugural Frome Summit A meeting focused on strengthening collaboration between Frome Town Council and Somerset Council was held recently at the town hall. Hosted at Frome Town Hall and attended by MP Anna Sabine, the summit brought together Frome and Somerset councillors and senior officers to discuss some of the biggest opportunities and challenges facing Frome. These included housing, transport, health and wellbeing, the local economy and opportunities for young people. Discussions throughout the day highlighted a shared ambition to ensure Frome remains a thriving, creative and inclusive town while also addressing growing pressures around housing affordability, infrastructure and access to services. Leader of Somerset Council Bill Revans said, “It was fantastic to hear so many ideas about how Somerset Council and Frome Town Council can work together and to explore how we can strengthen our collaboration in the future for the benefit of our residents.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • Kate Bush flash mob and town-wide drone photo Residents are invited to dress as Kate Bush and join a joyful flash mob up Catherine Hill as part of the Frome Connects project this month. Inspired by the resurgence of Kate Bush’s iconic song ‘Running Up That Hill’, the event on Saturday 30th May, will feature simple choreography from the original 80s video and will be led by Ginny Adams of Mojo Moves. At 12.15pm, St John’s Church bells will ring out with ‘Running Up That Hill’, performed by Tony Hodges, before local photographer Chris Bailey captures a town-wide drone shot at approximately 12.30pm. Participants are encouraged to wear grey and optional shaggy brown wigs although organisers stress that no dance experience or actual running is required.

  • Orchardleigh Ladies host successful Solheim Cup day Orchardleigh Golf Club’s Ladies’ Section held their own version of the Solheim Cup on Tuesday 5th May, with Europe taking on the Rest of the World in a closely contested competition. The format saw nine holes of fourball better ball followed by nine holes of match play. The result was finely balanced, with Europe securing victory by 6½ points to 5½ after edging the match play. Sue Sweet, captain of the Europe team, was presented with the trophy by Lady Captain Jan Light. Players enjoyed sunny conditions and the event was well received by all who took part.

  • Frome woman takes on open water swim challenge for women’s health A local woman with endometriosis is aiming to complete nine open water swims this month, reflecting the average nine years it takes to get a diagnosis in the UK. Poppy Taylor, a PhD student, started the challenge just six weeks after having surgery for endometriosis. Endometriosis is a whole-body inflammatory condition in which cells similar to those lining the womb grow elsewhere. Symptoms can include heavy, painful periods, pelvic pain, bladder and bowel issues, fertility issues and fatigue. There is currently no cure. Poppy said, “I first saw a GP about my symptoms at 19 and, as these got worse, I spent years going back and forth but with no answers. At one point I was misdiagnosed with IBS and essentially told I was making it up. It wasn’t until I was 26 when a scan for another health issue found endometriomas (ovarian cysts caused by endometriosis) that I was eventually put on the path for surgery.

  • Young rugby trio represent county Three players from Frome RFC Academy have represented Somerset at under-17 level. Angus, Leo and Stan played their part in the county side’s impressive 29-10 away victory over Cornwall earlier this month. “The Club is extremely proud and wish them and Somerset all the very best for their next fixture,” said Matt Warnock from the club.

  • Electric bus launched in Frome A new, 16-seat electric bus has been launched in Frome providing the town with the latest generation of passenger vehicles. Somerset Council has launched its first public service electric bus with the 30 service in Frome. The vehicle is low floor, easily accessible, wheelchair friendly and comes with zero emissions. The new vehicle complements the fleet of electric First buses already running on routes across the county. Somerset Council says it is a ‘lifeline’ for residents needing to reach town centre services and being electric, is more sustainable and less reliant on fossil fuels.

  • Frome woman takes on 63-marathon challenge to mark 63rd birthday A keen runner from Frome is aiming to cover the equivalent distance of 63 marathons this year as part of a charity challenge linked to her age. Julie Cullen, who turns 63 this year and was born in 1963, is running the equivalent of 63 marathons over the course of 2026 to raise funds for Somerset Sight and Cancer Research UK. To fit the challenge around her self-employed work in education, Julie runs at least 10km, around six miles, at 6am most days. Since starting in January, she has completed the equivalent of 20 marathons. She said, “Some mornings I don’t know if I really want to but as soon as I get out, I am absolutely fine. I turn 63 this year and was born in 1963, so I felt I had to do something to mark that.” Julie is fundraising for Somerset Sight, which provides practical support for blind and visually impaired people across Somerset.

  • Safety concerns continue over pothole ‘epidemic’ Potholes in Frome continue to cause safety concerns among residents, with reports that the situation has not improved. After more than 100 people contacted the Frome Times earlier this year, one resident has highlighted several areas still in need of urgent attention. They pointed to a “dangerous cluster” of potholes at the junction between New Road and Wallbridge Road, saying traffic is being forced to slow almost to a stop to avoid damage. “It feels really dangerous and is an accident waiting to happen,” the resident said. “I have encountered cars nearly going into the back of my vehicle because I am having to completely slow down to get across the road. I don’t know why we have to get to the point where people have safety concerns before the local authorities listen and take action.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • Pop-up shop closes after £37,000 fundraising success A pop-up charity shop run by Frome Rotary Club has raised £37,000 in just five months for four charities. The shop, based in the Westway Precinct, has now closed after raising the funds for Fair Frome, We Hear You (WHY), the Frome Skatepark Project and End Polio Now. The club, which celebrated the centenary of its charter in Frome in December, opened the shop in the former Post Office premises as part of its centenary programme. Although the original plan had been to close the shop after Christmas as stock levels fell, the club decided to continue after learning that the WHY Appeal urgently needed to raise funds by the end of March. President Richard Lines said, “We met WHY CEO Lucy Kitchener and decided to keep the shop going. We appealed for donations from the Frome community and dedicated all proceeds to WHY for the seven weeks leading up to the end of the appeal in March.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
