  • Frome care home approved despite opposition A care home for 75 people will be built on land off Marston Road despite local objections. Plans for the two-storey care home were submitted last year and include the construction of an electrical substation, parking, and alterations to existing access. The application was approved at Somerset Council’s Planning Meeting East on 3rd February. Residents and councillors raised concerns about the size and scale of the development overlooking neighbouring properties, light spill, flooding and environmental risks, excess traffic, inadequate parking, and access for emergency vehicles.

  • Community wakes up the trees in annual Weylands Wassail. The rain did not stop the community from turning out for the annual Weylands Wassail on Sunday 8th February. Residents gathered at the Weylands Orchard for the centuries-old practice of wassailing which aims to encourage a good harvest and bring people together in community at the coldest and darkest time of the year. Mayor of Frome Cllr Anita Collier said, “It was opened by Frome’s Town Crier, Martin Scott, reminding us all of the good things that happen in Frome and a great atmosphere with much banging of pots and pans designed to wake the trees from their winter sleep. I was charged with blessing the apple trees with cider and reciting a rhyme in the hope of an abundant crop this year. Offerings were gifted to the trees in the shape of toast attached to ribbons and the orchard was ablaze with colour." Read more on our website. The link is in our bio.
  • Library Friends marks first anniversary A group supporting Frome’s library has marked its first anniversary. Friends of Frome Library (FOFL), a Community Interest Company (CIC), was set up last year by volunteers and library users to fundraise and advocate for the much-loved public space. Chairperson Kerry Meech said the group has had a busy winter. “We’ve been fundraising and chatting with librarians about their wish lists for this year. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we’ve been able to secure much-needed replacement equipment, including a safe and secure Lego storage unit for the popular Lego club and replacement props for the free, librarian-led Toddler Time and Baby Boogie sessions,” she said. Read more on our website. The link is in our bio. The Friends’ next quiz night is on Thursday 19th February, from 8pm. Anyone wishing to reserve a table can email friendsoffromelibrary@gmail.com.
  • Valentine lamp lighting ceremony returns this week The annual Valentine lamp lighting ceremony is being held this Saturday 14th February at the top of Catherine Hill. The ceremony sees Frome’s famous Valentine gas lamp lit by Eddie Young, the lamplighter, who will be dressed in period costume and light the lamp using a traditional lamplighter’s pole and read the dedication to St Valentine. Selected poems, on the theme of love, will be performed by the members of the Frome Writers Collective Poetry Group. The event will start at 5.30pm when a Queen of Hearts rocket will be set off and explode in a red heart shape in the sky above the lamp. Read more on our website. The link is in our bio.

  • Hopkins strike seals eighth straight home win for Frome Albie Hopkins’ close-range strike bagged all three points for the Robins, Frome’s eighth consecutive home victory. The number 11 had a goal ruled out at the 30-minute mark, his diving effort was flagged by the linesman; after an exchange in words from both Ali and Collier, the goal was disallowed. Yet with the difficult conditions, all three points head to Danny Greaves’ men and with the win secured, this kept the 11-point gap from Malvern Town in second place. Prior to this tie, Frome travelled to West Bristol as they faced Bristol Manor Farm and took all the available points at The Creek. Read more on our website. The link is in our bio.

  • Safety concerns raised over Frome’s ‘pothole epidemic’ Residents in Frome are warning that local roads are becoming increasingly dangerous as potholes grow in number and size. Over 100 residents have contacted the Frome Times with their concerns, with several people reporting damage to vehicles, and one child fracturing his arm after hitting a pothole while cycling. Somerset Councillor Adam Boyden, for Frome North, said the region is facing a ‘pothole epidemic’ and urged residents to keep reporting them. He said, “There are over 3,500 potholes in the system to be dealt with. Nearly 1,000 were reported last weekend. It is just getting worse, it is a bad time with the rain, it’s been cold. On Bath Road there is just a long line of potholes there. It is worth reporting them and not complaining on social media.” A 10-year-old boy, James Yearsley, fractured his arm after hitting a pothole while riding his bike on Woodhayes Road in December. His mum, who said the injury required surgery, said, “I reported this straight away to the Highways Department at Somerset Council as I was so worried someone else would get hurt. They have made a very shoddy repair to the hole which took about three weeks. I am still waiting for a response from their insurance team with regards to compensation.” Read more on our website.
