  • Acclaimed author explores aristocratic family’s slavery-linked fortunes at Frome talk

An award-winning investigative journalist and acclaimed author is coming to Frome this month to explore the powerful legacy of one of Britain’s most controversial aristocratic families.

Paul Lashmar will be speaking about his latest book, Drax of Drax Hall: How One British Family Got Rich (and Stayed Rich) Through Slavery and Sugar, at an event hosted by Winstone’s Hunting Raven Books on Thursday 26th February at The Archangel in King Street.

In the book, described as “Perfect for fans of David Olusoga”, Paul Lashmar takes a hard look at the Drax family – one of the wealthiest and most influential aristocratic families in the UK – tracing their fortune back to its roots in slavery and the sugar trade and asking important and searching questions about restorative justice, reparations and what we do about fortunes built on blood. 

Read more on our website. The link is in our bio. 

Tickets are £3 and can be purchased online at https://buff.ly/K0kSM7e or in store at Winstone’s Hunting Raven Books on Cheap Street, Frome.

  • Learn about fostering at friendly drop-in session in Frome

Residents in Frome who are curious about fostering are being invited to a relaxed information session on Thursday 26th February. 

The drop-in event, hosted by Fostering in Somerset, offers a chance to speak informally with local foster carers over a free coffee and slice of cake.

The session aims to give people a realistic insight into what fostering involves, with no pressure to take your interest further. Staff and carers will be on hand to answer questions, share experiences and explain the support available, including full training and weekly payments.

“The event is designed to be welcoming and accessible, making it an ideal first step for anyone wanting to explore fostering in a supportive, informal setting,” said Lead Cllr Heather Shearer, Member for Children, Families and Education at Somerset Council.

  • New homes to be built on North Parade car park

By Local Democracy Reporter Daniel Mumby

Nearly 20 new low-cost homes will be built on North Parade car park after three years of delays.

The North Parade car park, located off North Hill Mews in Frome, was identified by Mendip District Council as a site for potential social housing in November 2020.

The council – and its unitary successor, Somerset Council – have subsequently been working with the Stonewater housing association on proposals to build on the site, securing a land swap with the neighbouring Farleigh Further Education College in mid-2021.

Stonewater formally applied in May 2023 for permission to build 18 new low-cost, low-carbon homes on the car park, comprising nine flats and nine houses.

Somerset Council has now granted permission for the scheme nearly three years on, meaning construction could get under way by the late summer.

The site lies to the north of the railway line running through Frome, within walking distances of both Rodden Meadow and the Saxonvale regeneration site.
