  • Frome Wild Bunch Column: Summer time! Hi – it’s Jane here, from the Wild Bunch. As we enter July and the height of summer, it’s a great time to spend a few moments sitting back in your garden or local green space and just enjoying what the summer has brought. If you were able to take some small steps towards supporting our wildlife over the spring, now they – and you – will reap the benefits. Flowers for pollinators planted earlier in the year should be in full bloom, full of insects buzzing and birds feasting. Bird boxes may have hosted one or even two broods of blue tits or robins, or tree bumblebees may have taken up residence. If you have been able to establish a little wild area of long grass, perhaps by following ‘No Mow May’, you may be rewarded with new wildflowers – as I was when a Pyramidal Orchid appeared in my garden for the first time. What a summer delight! Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • MP praises Frome hospital staff for saving husband’s life By Local Democracy Reporter Daniel Mumby Staff at Frome Community Hospital have been praised by local MP Anna Sabine for saving her husband’s life earlier this year.

She made her comments in a Westminster Hall debate on community hospitals on 16th June. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio. Pictured: MP Anna Sabine.

  • ‘Hard work starts now’ says Frome Town boss ahead of new season Frome Town boss Danny Greaves says “the hard work starts now” as the Robins return for pre-season following last season’s title-winning campaign. Danny has been reflecting on a “busy and productive summer” after guiding Frome back to the Southern League Premier South at the first attempt. And he has made clear the focus has already shifted to the next challenge. “While winning the league was a major milestone, we have always viewed it as just one stage of a wider objective,” he said. “Following our relegation from the Southern League Premier Division 12 months earlier, our goal was clear: earn promotion, return to Step 3 and then establish ourselves there. We have completed the first part of that journey, but the hardest work starts now as we prepare to secure our status at this level. “We are confident that we have the structures, processes and footballing identity in place to compete at Step 3. More importantly, we believe we have a squad capable of competing against the very best teams in the division.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
