  • From The Mayor A column by Cllr Andy Jones By the time this column is published, we should know the plans for the development of the Saxonvale site. We’re also expecting to have a first response from Somerset Council on the Devolution Deal for Frome, so there are some exciting things in the pipeline. If you want to make sure your voice is heard on these or any other topics, do come along to our public council meetings in the town hall; details at the end of the column or on the Frome Town Council website. Last month’s meeting was very well attended. We had several members of the public raise their own topics of concern and contribute to the discussion on Frome Town Council’s plans for the future, the level of the precept payable to the town council, and our support for further development of the Cheese and Grain. It was a good reminder of the strength of a council made up of independents, who don’t have to follow any party lines and are free to share their personal views and vote as their conscience requires.

Which means it’s already time to decide whether to open your garden for Hidden Gardens of Frome,” says event organiser, Andy Jones. “Part of Hidden Gardens’ charm is that it’s about so much more than large formal gardens, everyone can join in to share their own successes (and discuss failures) with like-minded people. There’s an additional emphasis this year on the value of gardening for wildlife, with several gardens having been recognised by the Team Wilder scheme run by Somerset Wildlife Trust.
