  • From The Mayor What is community engagement and what does it mean for you? We talk a lot about community engagement but knowing it’s the way to help a town get involved in its own future is very different from actually doing it. At Frome Town Council, we actively seek engagement with as many residents as we can, because we want you to feel empowered to make the changes and improvements you think would help the town become a better place to live. We’ve recently added a new way for you to share your thoughts with us: our My Frome platform has information about forthcoming projects and plans, with opportunities to comment and participate in decision making. That doesn’t replace all the other ways you can get in touch; you’ll still see us ‘popping up’ around the town, and you can call, email or visit us at the town hall during office hours, or attend a council meeting in person or via Zoom. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • Frome Wild Bunch Column - Feed seasonally and feed safely Hello, this is Jenny from the Wild Bunch. On 3rd May, it was International Dawn Chorus Day and it’s the best time of year to tune into garden birds singing their hearts out. All you have to do to enjoy it is open your window or go outside and listen. Migrant birds like swallows and swifts are returning to our town; local birds are feeding their young and new life is everywhere. Sadly, some of our birds are not thriving because of disease, greenfinches and bullfinches are experiencing serious decline. The good news is that we can help reduce the spread of disease by making a few simple changes to the way we feed the birds. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • Frome Hoedown volunteers clean up Portway pavement The pavement along Portway has been refreshed by residents who cleaned and repainted the railings. The work was carried out by the Frome Hoedown team, who spent 2.5 hours transforming the area on a sunny Sunday. The railings now have gold roundels and the foliage has been removed. Organisers said, “Many thanks to Jim, Julian, Judith, Howard, Tony, Marian, Herbie, Ali and Shane, who transformed the walkway at a cost of five small tins of gold metal paint, sugar soap and five paint brushes, just under £25.” Shane Collins, a Somerset councillor for Frome who runs the group, said, “As central government funding for councils is reduced and the cost of children’s and adult social care goes up there is less to be spent on taking care of our streets. We can either complain or get active with our neighbours and friends and do it ourselves. As the climate heats and more land becomes inarable, food will increase in price and we will need to rely on our locality and each other much more in the future.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • Puppini Sisters to mark 20 years with Cheese & Grain show The Puppini Sisters will celebrate their 20th anniversary with a special performance at the Cheese & Grain in Frome on Saturday, 23rd May. Known for their ‘close harmonies, corsets and clever covers’, the trio were formed by Bologna-born Marcella Puppini at London’s Trinity College of Music. They made their breakthrough with debut album Betcha Bottom Dollar in 2006, which became the fastest-selling jazz debut in UK chart history. “From festival stages to royal soirées, they have dazzled the world with their retro-glam style and genre-bending swing,” said Rob Dahl from the Cheese & Grain. “The world’s leading queens of vocal harmony, their sassy swing take on everything from Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy to Heart of Glass won over fans from Michael Bublé to King Charles. “Their signature style, part Vivienne Westwood, part burlesque, helped spark the vintage revival.’ “Corsets were essential,” said Marcella. “We could see vintage booming, but even I didn’t expect it to get this big.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
