  • New Edventure course promotes greener and healthier Frome Local people have launched three communications projects that show why helping the planet also benefits our health. Edventure launched a first-of-its-kind course with local participants called Comms for Change in partnership with Green & Healthy Frome in October last year. Participants on the course heard from a number of communications professionals about how communications can be used to encourage positive actions that help people and planet, and how to think about using these ideas here in Frome. The three projects they have launched are the Spring into Action group, the Join the Dots group and the Earth Hour team. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Number of crimes reported at Frome Station decrease New data has revealed the number of crimes reported at train stations across the UK, showing a decrease in the small number reported at Frome Station. At Frome Station, the rate of all crime incidents per 100,000 passengers has decreased from 6.87 to 4.58 since 2023 according to data from the British Transport Police (BTP). The BTP emphasised that “every offence is one too many” in relation to the new statistics. A BTP spokesperson told the Frome Times, “The chance of becoming a victim of crime on the railway remains extremely low, and reports of high harm crime such as robbery and violence remain low at 2.2 incidents per million passenger journeys. It is important to not sensationalise these statistics and view them within their context. At Frome, which has just around 87,000 passengers per year, there were four offences, down from six.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Lions raise funds for air ambulance charity at annual sporting dinner The Frome Lions held their 17th annual Sporting Charity Dinner last month at Elmhay Park, Orchardleigh. This year’s chosen charity was the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance. A representative from the charity, Charlotte Humber, was in attendance and informed the guests that the air ambulance provides lifesaving, pre-hospital critical care to those in urgent need across Dorset and Somerset. She said that since March 2000, the air ambulance has responded to emergencies across the region, bringing advanced medical care to patients wherever they are. The dedicated teams include expert pilots, critical care practitioners, paramedics, nurses, and doctors, working together 19 hours a day from 7am to 2am every day of the year.

  • Assisted travel options in Frome Frome is host to several services designed to help residents without transport to access medical or dental appointments. Frome Town Council’s Assisted Travel webpage maintains information about some of the options. Cllr Philip Campagna said, “We’re fortunate to have good public transport options for a small town, thanks in part to Peter Travis, Tracey Harding and the fantastic FAVBUG team’s campaign to retain and improve local bus services. And we’re luckier than many Somerset towns in having a train station. However, for older people, or those with additional needs, and with our nearest general hospital in Bath, it can be really challenging to get to things like hospital appointments without a car. “Luckily, there are options for you – for most you’ll need to register in advance so it’s worth planning ahead. All phone numbers and links for individual services are on the Frome Town Council’s website, link at the bottom of this article.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Care home raises over £3,000 for Frome-based family support charity A care home in Frome has raised over £3,000 for a charity that supports local families in the region. Residents and team members at Care UK’s Rossetti House, on Welshmill Lane, collectively raised a total of £2,262.77 through a series of fundraising activities throughout 2024. Keen to go the extra mile, Care UK contributed £1,000 to the final figure, boosting the total raised to £3,262.77. The donations were raised for Purple Elephant, a charity based in Frome that was founded in 2015. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Reflect on kindness and the planet with a free immersive riverside walk Green and Healthy Frome is hosting three guided walks along Frome’s riverside as part of this year’s Kindness Festival, which runs from 15th to 22nd March. The free walks will bring nature, health and the community together on Saturday 22nd March at 10am, 11am and 12pm. “Starting at the riverside by the Welshmill Woodland Playground, the walks will explore how the natural world enriches our wellbeing, with insights from expert speakers, fun activities and experiments to get involved with. This will leave you feeling inspired, informed and connected,” says organiser Annabel Crooke. This event is suitable for both adults and children who are curious about the links between nature, our health and community. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Frome Fling to raise money for Missing Links Kilts at the ready, the Frome Fling will soon return to the town.

  • Somerset council approves ‘astronomical’ council tax rise By Local Democracy Reporter John Wimperis Somerset Council has approved an “astronomical” council tax increase of 7.5%, after it was given special permission by the government to hike the tax beyond the normal limit. Despite the higher taxes, more than 550 members of council staff are being laid off and parking charges are set to be introduced in free car parks and for parking on Sundays. As the council met to vote on the budget for 2025/26 on 5th March, councillors were told its financial situation was “critical.” For the second year in a row, the council relied on “exceptional financial support” from the government to meet its legal duty to balance its books. This exceptional support is not a gift of more money for Somerset — but permission to get more money out of Somerset. The government has given the council permission to raise its council tax beyond the normal 4.99% limit to 7.49% and to continue its “capitalisation” programme of borrowing and selling off council assets to raise revenue.

  • Frome Busks returns this month with local young musician Millie joining the line-up The streets of Frome will come alive with the sound of young musicians as Frome College and Selwood Academy showcase their talent in Frome Busks on Saturday 22nd March. Kicking off at 11am until 2pm, the event promises to be an exciting day for music lovers of all ages as performers take to the stage to treat passers-by to live sets across various locations around the town centre. Millie Steel, a Year 13 student at Frome College who took part in and helped organise Frome Busks 2024, as well as performing at Frome Town Council’s 50th anniversary event last year, shared her thoughts with Cllr Sara Butler about the event and her journey as a young musician.
