  • Frome bands set for regional semi-final Two Frome bands will compete in the semi-finals of Bristol’s biggest battle of the bands, with the chance to boost their profile across the South West. Jump Jump Joan and Butane Skies have reached the semi-finals of Underdog 2026, set to be held at Thekla in Bristol on 12th April. Prizes include £1,000, two full days in a professional recording studio, a promotional photoshoot, custom t-shirts, a mini tour of the South West, and the opportunity to play the final at the O2 in Bristol. Lead singer and rhythm guitarist of Jump Jump Joan, Sarah Hobbs, said it was a “great opportunity” for new bands. “We were really thrilled to win our heats,” she said. “There were 72 bands who went into the initial heats, run over 12 events at the Thunderbolt in Bristol."

  • Frome family takes on 26 challenges for Motor Neurone Disease A Frome family is taking on 26 challenges in 2026 to raise funds and awareness for Motor Neurone Disease charities, after their mum was diagnosed with the illness. From marathons and triathlons to a silent touch rugby match, the family hopes their efforts will show how MND affects patients, while supporting the charities Motor Neurone Disease Association, My Name’5 Doddie Foundation and 4Ed. Local resident Dominic Jones said his mother, Nicola Jones, received her MND diagnosis in May last year. He explained, “We’ve got a whole host of Snowdonia challenges, various triathlons, functional fitness challenges and we have also got a darts challenge because of the element of motor skills and motor movements. I chose to do 26 challenges because it is 2026.” Dominic will also be running the Bath Half Marathon in March and a 70-mile Ultra Marathon in 24 hours later in the year. For some of the running challenges, he will be wearing a breathing apparatus raising awareness of how MND affects patients’ breathing. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • Safety improvement plans for Frome Bypass progress Plans to improve road safety on the A361 Frome Bypass are moving forward. Somerset Council is consulting on reducing the speed limit from 60mph to 50mph on the road, used by around 15,000 motorists a day, where five people have died in collisions over the past five years. The proposals also include resurfacing the road, introducing central hatching to narrow lanes where possible, cutting back vegetation to improve visibility and upgrading road markings to make them more visible. Subject to any objections being resolved, a scheme to implement the reduced speed limit would start at the same time as resurfacing work at the A361/A362 junction, currently planned from 7th to 20th May. The works follow extensive campaigning by residents, councillors and the local MP Anna Sabine for safety measures on the road, Councillor Richard Wilkins, Somerset Council’s Lead Member for Transport and Waste, said, “We are developing further plans for making this road safer with an improved road surface, and measures to reduce traffic speeds through the proposed speed limit and introduction of central hatching to reduce the road width, where feasible. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio. People have until 20th March to share their feedback on the order by emailing TROinbox@somerset.gov.uk quoting Reference No. KT04022026 Pictured: Frome Bypass – Google Maps
  • Frome marks International Women’s Day Frome celebrated International Women’s Day last week with theatre, discussion, tea, cake, cycling - and a 32-foot American school bus named Susie. On Saturday 7th March, town councillors gathered at the Saturday market for their monthly ‘meet the councillor’ session. This month, they were accompanied by performer and influencer Lu Featherstone, aka ‘Lu in Luland’ and members of the councils’ White Ribbon group, talking about the positive role of male allyship and encouraging market-goers to take the White Ribbon pledge to ‘never use, excuse or remain silent about violence against women and girls.’ On Sunday 8 March, Frome Community Bike Project hosted a friendly drop-in session for women starting or returning to cycling at their base at Station Approach with tea, cake, advice and low-cost bikes and equipment on offer.

  • Anger at Packsaddle Fields path closure Residents gathered at Packsaddle Fields in protest ahead of the removal of public access across the site, with fencing expected to be installed this week. Campaigners including residents, MP Anna Sabine and Somerset councillors gathered at the fields on Sunday 8th March to meet and form a human chain along part of the permissive path that will be closed. They say the plan for Somerset Council to install fences follows legal pressure from housing association LiveWest after its plans to build homes on the site were refused. They accused the developer of ‘bullying’ tactics. The site, on the northern edge of Frome, has been owned by Somerset Council since 1973. The public had been able to use a permissive path across the land, which was allowed at the council’s discretion rather than being a formal public right of way. In March 2022 the council agreed to dispose of the land and later signed an Option Agreement with LiveWest in July that year. An option agreement gives a developer the right to buy land within a set period if certain conditions are met, usually including securing planning permission.

  • A pair of ‘Ace players’ at Frome Bridge Club For the first time in history, Frome Bridge Club is celebrating its first pair of Ace-graded players. Club Chair Ray Nicholson and Committee member David Clayton reached the English Bridge Union rank of Ace within a fortnight of each other in January, placing them among the top 10 bridge players in Somerset. First to the post was David, when a Monday night Club Pairs score of 76.3% lifted his National Grading Scheme (NGS) rank over the Ace of Clubs threshold of 61%. Two Mondays later, it was Ray’s turn. Both learnt to play bridge in their youth before taking a long break and resuming later in life. David joined the club after moving to Frome in 2023, and his rise to Ace-grade playing has been swift.

  • Rotary’s big quiz raises over £1,000 A big quiz raised over £1,000 for Frome Town Rotary to help the club continue supporting local causes and charities. Held recently at Oakfield Academy, the quiz saw 22 teams play 10 rounds of questions. Frome Town Rotary member Lorraine said, “22 teams cheered, groaned and laughed their way through 10 rounds of questions, including a great music round. The winning team was NBG, with a score of 81 out of 100. The Corsley Heathens were a close second with 80 points. “Congratulations to them and a big thank you to everyone who came along. Just over £1,000 was raised through ticket sales, a licensed bar and a raffle. “There were a lot of positive comments made on the night, with people saying it was a ‘great evening’ and that they ‘really enjoyed it.’” Read more on our website.

  • Frome Wild Bunch Column: Setting up home Hi, this is Jane from the Wild Bunch. After the wettest January on record, most of us are looking forward to getting out into the open air – whether to plant up a backdoor flowerpot or window box, visit one of Frome’s community gardens or open spaces, or to start work on our own garden or allotment. As we face a major biodiversity crisis, said by some to be so serious as to threaten our national security, every step – large or small – that we take as individuals to support wildlife is important. This is the time of year when birds are busy setting up home, having traditionally paired up by Valentine’s Day. Do you have a bird box in your garden or local community space? If so, now is the time to give it a quick clean, so long as no-one has already moved in! If you have not yet got a nest box, this is a good time to buy one – or even make it yourself. The bird charity RSPB has instructions on its website, including advice on the size of box and shape of entry hole for different breeds. Alternatively, the Wild Bunch runs bird box building workshops from time to time – look out for forthcoming sessions on Facebook or email us (address at the end). Read more on our website.
