  • Local Jewish resident speaks out about living in fear A local woman has spoken out about living in fear as a Jewish resident in Frome, saying many in the town’s Jewish community have been hiding their identity amid a rise in antisemitism. The resident, who is remaining anonymous for safety reasons, told the Frome Times she felt compelled to share her experience and support the local Jewish community. She said the rise in antisemitism has been fuelled globally by the conflict between Palestine and Israel, and emphasised that Jewish people in Frome are separate from the conflict. “I wanted to say something about what has been the experience of people who are Jewish in Frome,” she said. “I want to call out for people to stop because whatever people might feel, we are just residents of Frome who are Jewish who want to go about our lives and join in with the community; we are not part of the conflict.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Frome Festival launches fundraising campaign with special concert Frome Festival is launching a fundraising campaign to raise £25,000 before next year’s festival, kicking off with a special concert featuring three locally based acts. The campaign, ‘25 for 25’, celebrates a quarter of a century of the festival being at the heart of Frome’s creative community, with events throughout the year. All monies raised will support growing the organisation, developing an education strand and maintaining its programme of free and low-cost activities. The campaign will launch on Saturday 29th November at The Tunnels with local acts including Tom Moth, folk duo māsa and a new soul/funk collective, The Juice. Tom Moth, harpist for Florence + The Machine, said, “I enjoy crafting sounds using various acoustic and electronic devices, so whilst the harp will be involved, the performance won’t strictly be a harp recital.” Tom, who moved to Frome a couple of years ago, said, “I love that there’s such a welcoming and proactive creative community. It seems like there’s always something happening, whether it’s a gig, an exhibition, or community-based activity.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • New kitchen showroom opens in former Shoe Zone premises A brand-new German kitchen showroom has opened in Frome town centre in the former Shoe Zone premises which had been empty for ten years. Kutchenhaus Frome – a 1,100 sq. ft showroom showcasing the latest in German kitchen innovation and forward-thinking appliances – has been opened by Frome residents Rob Cash and Becky Haynes. Rob is well-known locally as a volunteer Scout leader, and both he and Becky are actively involved in supporting community life in Frome. Kutchenhaus Frome will feature four kitchen displays, one bathroom area and two consultation desks. Appliances from NEFF, Bora, AEG, Bosch, Quooker, Blanco and Caple will all be on display. This will be Rob’s third Kutchenhaus showroom, following the success of Kutchenhaus Bristol (opened 2017) and Kutchenhaus Bath (opened 2020), bringing a fresh and complementary offer to Frome.

  • Town council votes temporary increase chair’s allowance Councillors at Frome Town Council have voted to give the Chair Cllr Fiona Barrows a temporary rise in her monthly allowance for the next six months due to increased workload. The £3,750 increase means Cllr Barrows will receive an additional £625 per month, which will come from general reserves, until April 2026. Councillors unanimously agreed to the rise at the full council meeting on Wednesday 29th October. Allowance Until May this year, no Frome town councillor had received extra income for the leader role. When Cllr Barrows became Chair of the Council, a £15,000 allowance was introduced for this year. It was introduced to cover lost earnings, as the role is estimated to require 2.5 days of work per week. With the temporary increase, Cllr Barrows’ total allowance as Chair for the year will rise to around £18,750, reflecting the extra duties she is taking on.

  • Frome’s Remembrance commemorations this weekend Frome will mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II with special commemorative events this weekend, including a festival of remembrance, war grave walks, archive film screenings and a 1940s cinema night.

  • Classical rising star to perform at Rook Lane Chapel A top classical musician is due to perform at Rook Lane Chapel as part of the next Frome Concerts Group autumn shows.

  • Council plans to close path through Packsaddle Fields A pathway through Packsaddle Fields is planned to be closed by Somerset Council to support a developer in obtaining planning permission, a move heavily criticised by local campaign group People for Packsaddle. The site, on Frome’s northern edge, has been owned by the council since 1973. The public has been able to use a permissive path across the land, which is allowed at the council’s discretion and is not a legal right of way. Somerset County Council decided to dispose of the land in March 2022, with an Option Agreement signed with developer LiveWest in July 2022. The developer submitted plans for 74 homes and a specialist home for children with disabilities in 2024, which were refused by the planning committee in January 2025. An appeal was dismissed in September, and the developer has indicated it will launch a legal challenge. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Frome woman makes major step toward England para-surfing team A Frome woman with a physical disability has taken a step closer to representing the England para-surfing team after achieving a top international qualification, following two heart attacks last year. Kay Millar, a full-time wheelchair user living with limb paralysis and arm weakness, travelled to Spain to complete her ISA international surfing classification, a year earlier than expected, thanks to sponsorship from Frome Rotary. The trip allowed her to observe elite competition, connect with coaches, and map out her future training plan. She is now being supported by Team England coaches. “Surfing has become more than a sport for me; it’s a lifeline,” said Kay. “For someone with a busy brain and a harsh inner critic, the waves are the only place I feel calm, capable and completely in the moment.” Kay has long faced barriers to accessing sport and has faced multiple health setbacks over the last two years.

  • Resident campaigns to restrict children’s smartphone use A Frome resident is campaigning for parents to be more aware of the dangers of smartphones and social media use among children as part of a UK-wide movement. Cordelia Fellowes, an independent youth mentor, is an ambassador of the Smartphone Free Childhood movement, which is a nationwide parent-led campaign which advocates delaying children’s smartphone access until 14 and social media access until 16. Parents are encouraged to sign the ‘Parent Pact’ and join others in their area in pledging to delay their children’s device use. The pact has 158,300 signatures nationwide. “97% of 12-year-olds own a smartphone now,” said Cordelia. “The main goal of this campaign is to put pressure on tech companies to improve parental restrictions on phones because most children can get around them. We also want to put pressure on governments to ban phones in schools.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
