  • Frome Fling to raise money for Missing Links Kilts at the ready, the Frome Fling will soon return to the town. Frome Missing Links’ popular ceilidh is being held at Rook Lane Chapel on Saturday 22nd March between 7pm and 11pm. The evening will include music and dancing led by local band Spill the Whisky as well as a fundraising bar and raffle. Frome’s Missing Links charity has been working to improve the cycling infrastructure and sustainable transport around Frome. Recently work has been ongoing to complete a multi-use pathway between Buckland Bridge and Elliot’s Lane. “Kilts welcome but not essential, look out your dancing shoes and join us for a fun evening to support this great charity,” say organisers. Tickets available at https://buff.ly/Jfqo6r3 or by searching Frome Fling Ceilidh 2025 on Eventbrite Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Somerset council approves ‘astronomical’ council tax rise By Local Democracy Reporter John Wimperis Somerset Council has approved an “astronomical” council tax increase of 7.5%, after it was given special permission by the government to hike the tax beyond the normal limit. Despite the higher taxes, more than 550 members of council staff are being laid off and parking charges are set to be introduced in free car parks and for parking on Sundays. As the council met to vote on the budget for 2025/26 on 5th March, councillors were told its financial situation was “critical.” For the second year in a row, the council relied on “exceptional financial support” from the government to meet its legal duty to balance its books. This exceptional support is not a gift of more money for Somerset — but permission to get more money out of Somerset. The government has given the council permission to raise its council tax beyond the normal 4.99% limit to 7.49% and to continue its “capitalisation” programme of borrowing and selling off council assets to raise revenue.

  • Frome Busks returns this month with local young musician Millie joining the line-up The streets of Frome will come alive with the sound of young musicians as Frome College and Selwood Academy showcase their talent in Frome Busks on Saturday 22nd March. Kicking off at 11am until 2pm, the event promises to be an exciting day for music lovers of all ages as performers take to the stage to treat passers-by to live sets across various locations around the town centre. Millie Steel, a Year 13 student at Frome College who took part in and helped organise Frome Busks 2024, as well as performing at Frome Town Council’s 50th anniversary event last year, shared her thoughts with Cllr Sara Butler about the event and her journey as a young musician.

  • Town councillors tackle street cleanliness following growing frustration Local councillors are tackling the cleanliness of Frome’s streets after ongoing frustration from the community over bins being left unemptied and litter building up. A spokesperson for Frome Town Council said Somerset Council is responsible for emptying town centre bins via a contractor and is transitioning to a new way of working from June 2025, causing some temporary disruption. “Keeping Frome clean and welcoming is a priority: I speak about it almost every council meeting,” says Frome Town Councillor Nick Dove. “Rubbish and dog poo bins overflowing and streets that haven’t been swept for months are not a good look; it just isn’t good enough.” Frome town councillors are working with the county council to improve the service, as well as implementing improvements to street cleansing and weeding.

  • Frome comes together for International Women’s Day Frome has come together to mark International Women’s Day (IWD). On Saturday 8th March, a community action forum at Frome Football Club brought together people from statutory and voluntary organisations, venue staff from Frome’s ‘nighttime economy’, town councillors and residents to discuss how to improve safety for women and girls. In keeping with this year’s IWD theme, ‘Accelerate Action’, the discussion aimed to identify tangible actions, however small, that Frome could take as a community. Cllr Fiona Barrows said, “Violence against women and girls is, sadly, a huge global problem and a small town in Somerset isn’t going to end that, but on 8th March we focused on what we CAN do about it. “The atmosphere at the event on 8th March was so fantastic, collaborative and focused and we look forward to following up some of the ideas that emerged. It was great to have a mixture of experts and interested, motivated people in the room and specifically not to just have those experts presenting and everyone else listening, but to work together – and we really did.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Long-standing Cub leader to retire after 18 years A long-standing leader of the 5th Frome Cub Pack is preparing to retire after 18 years of helping with Beavers and Cubs. Following the retirement of the Pack’s Akela, Richard Webley, at Easter, the group is urgently seeking a replacement leader. If the role is not filled, the Pack could face closure. Richard has been involved with the Beavers and Cubs ever since his daughter joined around 18 years ago. He said, “I was never involved in it as a child. I really got involved as a parent helper when my daughter joined the Beavers, I went along with another parent just to help out and got roped in. It’s been around 18 years now that I have been helping out with Beavers and Cubs." Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Frome resident celebrates 104th birthday and shares secret to long life. A frome care home resident has celebrated her 104th birthday and revealed the secret to living a long and happy life: a glass of sherry and porridge. Eileen Wilkie, who lives at Care UK’s Rossetti House on Welshmill Lane, celebrated her 104th birthday surrounded by family, residents and team members. Eileen was born on 13th February 1921 in Chirk, North Wales and was a comptometer operator in the 1930s before joining the land army at Chirk Castle in World War II. In 1937, Eileen met her husband, John Wilkie, in Bristol. They later wed in 1942 and went on to have three daughters who later brought eight grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren into the family.

  • New museum exhibit explores history of the Trinity area Frome Museum has re-opened for the 2025 season with refreshed galleries and a new two-part exhibition about the town’s Trinity Area. The Trinity Area was backdrop to the ‘Great Clearance’, a 1960s enforced demolition of swathes of historic properties that were considered at the time no more than worthless slums. Trinity, Part 1: The Great Clearance, 1962-1968 opened at Frome Museum, 1 North Parade, on Tuesday 11th March. Entry is free. Later this year, the museum will launch an exhibit on the ‘The Trinity Campaign,’ which saw the Frome community resist the clearances from the 1970s onwards. The exhibitions will shed light on a pivotal moment in the town’s social and civic history, illustrating how these events shaped Frome’s development and its sense of independent community.
