  • Somerset Solidarity Day returns to Frome An event bringing together trade union members, climate campaigners and community groups is coming to the Cheese and Grain. Somerset Solidarity Day will take place on Sunday 18th October from 12pm, with organisers encouraging interested stallholders to get in touch. They say, “Somerset Solidarity Day is for all local people who are interested in finding out how joining a trade union can help them, or what radical campaign is just for them. We will bring together, under one roof, 30+ stalls, featuring individual trade unions, progressive campaign groups of all kinds and community charities.

  • From The Mayor I hope you are all continuing to enjoy this unprecedented fine spell of weather and are making the most of the opportunity to explore Frome’s open spaces. Please be cautious and help us to look after these spaces by not lighting fires, BBQs or disposable BBQs and taking extra care with anything that could start a fire. I walked around some of the fields around the town during the eclipse and it was great to see so many of you out celebrating this once-in-a-generation phenomenon. I was lucky to have a pair of the special glasses but I was impressed with the variety of viewing aids some of you were using, from homemade pinhole cameras to welding masks and colanders. The sun shone too on the Frome Carnival Fun Day in Victoria Park; I enjoyed meeting so many of you, especially those on the stalls representing our local charities. I hope you raised some much-needed cash as well as promoting the good work I know you do. I look forward to coming to see those who invited me to visit your organisations so I can have a more detailed insight into your aims and achievements.

  • New rules could mean fewer housing plans decided by councillors By Local Democracy Reporter Daniel Mumby with additional reporting by Frome Times Fewer decisions on major housing plans could be taken by councillors after October following changes in UK planning law. The Labour government has been making numerous changes to national planning policy as part of its pledge to deliver 1.5 million homes by the end of the current parliament. The Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) announced in early-June that it would be making changes to the ‘national scheme of delegation’ - a set of rules which governs which planning applications can come to public committee meetings. These changes come into effect in Somerset on 31st October and may make it harder for large developments to be decided in public, especially where outline planning permission is already in place.

  • Bereavement help points offer support to local people Two bereavement help points have opened recently to offer a space for people to meet others who are grieving and share experiences. The help points, run by Dorothy House, are held at The Good Heart on Palmer Street in Frome and Frome Livestock Market in Standerwick. Dorothy House staff and trained volunteers are on hand to speak to people, share experiences and offer guidance and support. All sessions are free to attend with no need to book. Organisers say, “Grief can feel overwhelming, isolating and unpredictable - but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Our Bereavement Help Point group offers a gentle, understanding space to meet others who are also grieving, share experiences at your own pace, and find comfort in compassionate company.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • 15 years of learning for fun — and a fresh crop of courses for autumn at Frome Community Education Running classes for adults since 2011, Frome Community Education is 15 years old. It was back in December 2010 that Malcolm Lloyd walked into Lidl and saw Sue Klepper. “How’s it going?” said Malcolm. “Terrible,” said Sue, “we’re thinking of running our own classes.” “That’s a good idea,” said Malcolm. And thus, Frome Community Education was born! Joined by Margaret Binney, Sandy Usher, David Chandler and, later, by Mandy Crook, FCE produced its first brochure of classes for adults starting in September 2011, so that’s 15 years of bringing learning for fun to the good people of Frome. Help was received from around the town. Kirsty Campbell, Jenny Dale and Mel Jones helped with various tasks while Butler & Tanner printed the brochure, Frome Town Council and Frome Lottery offered grants and the Cheese & Grain agreed to do the enrolments.

  • Bridge club reaches out to next generation of players A bridge club in Frome is launching a new season of beginner lessons this autumn, starting with a demonstration event at Frome Library this month. The club will be running an ‘All about Bridge’ event at Frome Library on Saturday 5th September to give an insight into the game for anyone interested in learning to play it. The event will consist of a simple bridge demo session where four people will be playing the game, along with lots of information about bridge and its history. It will run from 9.45am to 2pm. Members of the club shared their skills at the town council’s play event at the Key Centre on 5th August, marking National Play Day 2026. It was the first in a series of initiatives by the club to showcase the game ahead of its new teaching year in October. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Frome resident launches midlife wellness brand A resident from Frome has launched a new wellness brand creating supplements aimed at supporting women through midlife and beyond. Chris Curwen is the founder of Creatonics, which has launched what it describes as the UK’s first day-and-night creatine system formulated specifically for women over 40. The brand has partnered with Bath-based personal trainer and Olympic gold medallist Amy Williams MBE, who has become a founding ambassador for the company. A spokesperson for the Creatonics founding team said, “The company is born from the need to support women through the physiological shifts of midlife, perimenopause, menopause and beyond. Creatonics is redefining how women approach strength and healthy ageing. While creatine is widely celebrated for its muscle function and performance benefits, Creatonics is the first brand to optimise it specifically for a woman’s natural daily rhythm with a dual-formula approach.
  • Ex-Somerset councillor jailed over M25 protest reflects ahead of by-election By Local Democracy Reporter Daniel Mumby Former Somerset councillor, Michael Dunk, jailed for his role in a protest on the M25 has reflected on his career and his role in environmental activism. Michael was one of two Green Party councillors elected to represent the Frome West division at the local elections in May 2022. Known affectionately as ‘Mick’, he was among numerous Just Stop Oil activists who climbed gantries on the M25 in November 2022 to demand an end to new fossil fuel projects. Following his release from prison and a failed appeal against his conviction, Michael was forced to step down in mid-July – with a by-election to replace him being held in the coming weeks. Having been released on licence, he still has to see his probation officer once a month and has to give advanced notice if he is travelling outside of Somerset or further afield.
