  • Investigations continue into ‘suspicious’ Saxonvale fire Police are continuing to investigate a ‘suspicious’ fire which caused extensive damage to a derelict warehouse on the Saxonvale site. The fire broke out at around 3.40pm on Wednesday 1st July at a warehouse on the site. Fire crews, including Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, tackled the blaze, which caused extensive fire and smoke damage. The roof of the building collapsed during the incident, but no casualties were reported. Avon and Somerset Police have said the fire is being treated as suspicious and an investigation is now underway. Officers are urging anyone with information or relevant CCTV footage to come forward. Following the fire, Somerset Council carried out asbestos and structural surveys, which identified a small amount of debris in the neighbouring Lidl car park. A specialist asbestos contractor removed the debris on Friday 10th July. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio. Pictured: The aftermath of the fire. Credit: Sarah Swales

  • Parking charges introduced at popular walking spots Residents visiting Heaven’s Gate and Shearwater at the Longleat Estate will now have to pay a fee to park following the introduction of car park charges. Drivers will now be charged £1.50 per hour to park at the popular beauty spots. This follows a decision made by Longleat earlier this year as part of wider investment plans for the areas. Development Director at Longleat, David Leverett, said, “We ensured plenty of advance notice that charging was being introduced by highlighting the initiative five months ago as part of wider work taking place.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • Frome Wild Bunch Column – Butterflies and our climate Greetings, this is Peter from the Wild Bunch. Over the last few decades, as the effects of climate change have become more apparent, one of the most confusing aspects is that the impact is not all ‘in one direction’. Summers are not simply getting hotter year by year, nor are winters always warmer and wetter. When we hear of ‘the hottest June day ever’, someone will inevitably reply, ‘Ah yes, but who remembers June 1976?’, which of course did have an exceptionally long hot spell. What matters are the long-term trends. They show that the predictions made thirty years ago are coming true - just sooner and more intensely than expected. But in day-to-day life, those trends can be surprisingly hard to spot. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio. If you’d like to get close to all this yourself, join the Wild Bunch on 16th July at 1.30pm by the notice boards in Rodden Meadow to survey butterflies with local expert John Samways. This is part of the Big Butterfly Count, taking place across Britain from that day until 9th August.
  • New art and wine festival to debut in Frome A new art and wine event bringing together contemporary artists and UK-based growers, winemakers and wine merchants, is set to launch in Frome this weekend. Unfiltered Frome will take place at the Silk Mill on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th July, offering a mix of exhibitions, tastings, workshops and music. The event is the brainchild of Adam Collins from Frome’s Saddle Goose winery. It will feature more than 15 wine producers from across the UK, alongside guest growers and makers from further afield. Over 10 contemporary artists will also be exhibiting, with work available to view and purchase. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • MP recovering after surgery affects voice Frome MP Anna Sabine is recovering after thyroid surgery resulted in an injury to the nerve controlling her vocal cords, temporarily affecting her voice. Anna underwent the operation at the Royal United Hospital in Bath, which resulted in an injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve – the nerve that controls the vocal cords. She said the injury has left her voice very quiet for now and constituents who meet her over the coming weeks may notice the difference. A similar injury was suffered by BBC broadcaster Nick Robinson following surgery in 2015, before he later made a full recovery and returned to presenting the Today programme. Anna said, “Anyone who knows me knows I’m rarely lost for words, so these last couple of weeks without much of a voice have been quite an adjustment. But I’m in good company; Nick Robinson went through exactly the same thing after his surgery and he’s back on the radio every morning sounding exactly like himself. That’s given me real confidence about what’s ahead. Read more on our website. The link is in our bio.
  • Frome Festival – Frome comes alive with festival celebrations A show-stopping celebration of arts and culture has run in 58 venues across Frome and the surrounding area for the town’s 25th Frome Festival.
