  • Plans to turn former Pizza Hut restaurant into tanning salon approved By Local Democracy Reporter Daniel Mumby The former Pizza Hut restaurant in Frome will be turned into a tanning salon after plans were approved. Pizza Hut operated from Unit 1 of Enterprise House within the Wessex Fields business park in Frome until 2020, closing its doors forever during the coronavirus pandemic. The unit was subsequently occupied by the Dough & Co pizza company until they in turn vacated the premises in 2022 – with Consol Ltd. applying in late-November 2025 to convert the premises into a tanning salon. Somerset Council has now given its blessing to these proposals, meaning the new salon could be welcoming customers by the spring. Enterprise House’s existing tenants include the town’s KFC restaurant, the police enquiry desk and the Dorothy House Hospice Care furniture store.

  • Digital confidence sessions at Frome Medical Practice A series of digital confidence sessions are being launched by Frome Medical Practice this month. The free sessions will start on 18th March and are designed to help people feel more comfortable and in control when using everyday technology. Each session will offer a relaxed, welcoming space to learn, chat and ask questions about a range of digital topics. Digital Community Connector at the practice Will Palmer said, “We have got a list of topics we want to cover in these sessions, from staying safe online and avoiding scams, learning more about digital wearables such as hearing aids, fitness trackers and smart health devices, and finding out how AI can support your health. We are also keen to hear what other sessions people would find helpful too.” Read more here on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • The Little Scrapstore relaunches after community support A scrapstore nestled in the heart of Frome has relaunched following a community effort to reorganise the space. The Little Scrapstore, run by The Pod Charity, had been closed for two months. During that time, an army of volunteers and Frome Town Rotary helped transform the space, giving materials a second lease of life. Many items were generously donated by Sydenhams. Mayor Cllr Anita Collier attended the reopening last month to see the revitalised space beneath Frome Museum on Justice Lane. The Pod Charity manager, Sue Paxton, said, “The result is a calmer, more organised space that is not only more appealing and accessible for customers but also better suited to support the adults with additional needs who are working and learning within the Scrapstore."

  • Have your say on Market Yard toilets Residents are being encouraged to share their views on the future of the Market Yard toilets. Since September last year, the public toilet block has been closed, with the Changing Places facility kept open for those who need it. Public toilets are provided at the Cheese and Grain. The decision was made following Frome Town Council stepping in to prevent permanent closure of the facilities by Somerset Council. Frome Town councillor Nick Dove said, “We made the decision last July to temporarily close the toilets as they were becoming expensive and difficult to maintain. “We have asked Somerset Council to provide us with a long lease for the Market Yard block, which would allow us to make changes to the building and now we need to hear from you.” Read more here on our website, the link is in our bio. Let Frome Town Council know what you think with the quick and anonymous survey online at https://buff.ly/I7M6Fea, or by calling 01373 465 757 or popping into Frome Town Hall. Visit https://buff.ly/I7M6Fea to take part in the consultation. There will also be opportunities to share your views face-to-face in April.

  • Somerset Council increases precept by 4.99% Somerset Council has agreed to increase council tax by 4.99% when it met to approve its budget for 2026/27. At the Full Council meeting on 4th March councillors agreed to increase council tax by 4.99%, meaning the average Band D bill will rise to £1,950.30 per year (an increase of £1.78 per week). The council says this figure remains lower than the average unitary council, and less than neighbours in Dorset, Wiltshire and Cornwall. Speaking at the meeting, the leader of Somerset Council, Cllr Bill Revans, said the council is moving from financial emergency into a financial recovery phase. He said, “Experts agree that this council has grasped the challenges of the financial emergency. “We have taken the tough decisions needed whilst prioritising care for the most vulnerable and front line services, working in partnership with our business community, city, town and parish councils, the health service, the police and other public sector organisations as well as the Voluntary, Community, Faith, and Social Enterprise sector – and we will continue to do so."

  • Have your say on proposed changes to Frome school system Residents are being encouraged to share their views as part of an informal consultation into whether Frome schools should move to a two-tier education system. The Somerset Council consultation ends on 20th March and is seeking residents’ views on Frome schools moving from a three-tier to a two-tier system. If the consultation shows community support, a full statutory consultation with detailed proposals would be developed and launched in June/July. A two-tier system would mean pupils would join a primary school aged four before moving to secondary school in Year 7. The majority of schools in Frome currently operate a three-tier system, with pupils attending first schools (Reception to Year 4), middle schools (Years 5 to 8) and an upper school (Years 9 to 13).

  • Frome business breakfast with Mayday Saxonvale A Frome business breakfast is being held at The Cheese and Grain on Thursday 19th March with Mayday Saxonvale. Frome & District Chamber of Commerce are hosting the breakfast entitled The Future of Frome Business Breakfast. It is an opportunity for Frome businesses to hear directly from Mayday Saxonvale about their plans for community ownership of the site and the progress they are making in the acquisition of the site from Somerset Council. The group will also share how they can directly engage and help influence the future of the town. Organisers say the significant development planned across the town raises key questions about balancing business growth, employment space and long-term economic activity with housing and other uses, giving local business owners a stronger voice in shaping the town’s economic future, and ensuring that businesses, talent and investment remain rooted in Frome for the long term.
