  • Frome councillor jailed for climate protest shares experience

A Somerset councillor representing Frome who was jailed for his part in a climate demonstration on the M25 has spoken about his time in prison, the impact on his family and the uncertainty of an ongoing appeal.

Mick Dunk, who represents Frome’s West Ward for the Green Party, was sentenced to 26 months in prison for climbing a gantry on the M25 during a 2022 demonstration organised by Just Stop Oil.

He recently served two months in custody, and nine days on remand at HM Prison Wandsworth in 2022, and is now awaiting the outcome of an appeal of sentence while subject to a curfew and electronic tag until July.

Speaking to Frome Times, Mick, who is in his 70s, said he was locked in a cell for up to 23 hours a day while held at HM Prison Wandsworth.

“It was bearable initially when I was sharing a cell with someone who was a co-defendant. The cells are tiny, you get a bunkbed, there’s a toilet at one end and a window high up which you can’t see much out of,” he said. “We weren’t even allowed out at all one Sunday because they didn’t have enough staff, so you are just locked up for 24 hours of the day, that’s not great.”

  • Frome consolidate third place with convincing win

Counties 1 Tribute Southern South
Frome 76 - 5 Swindon

Frome welcomed Swindon to The Lane on Saturday looking to build on recent wins and consolidate on third place in the league.

Frome kicked off and Swindon started strongly with their forwards carrying hard but stout defence, lead by Flanker Dave Martin and Hooker Ali Turpin stopped them in their tracks.

Once Frome got hold of the ball it was worked to the outside and swift interplay between the Cassidy brothers put Toby in for the first try of the day.

The Frome attack marshalled by half backs Billy James and John Benstead continued to find gaps in the visitors’ defence and the second try came when the Cassidy brothers combined again for Sam Cassidy to score.

The Frome forwards were now on top with Eliki Bainimoli and Josh Hills carrying hard into the defence the ball was worked out to Toby Cassidy again and he chipped over the defenders to touch down again.

  • Impressive win over second placed Walcot

Rugby: Counties 1 Tribute Southern South
Walcot 10 - 53 Frome

Frome travelled to Bath to meet old rivals Walcot who were sitting second in the league. 

Frome started with attacking intent playing down the hill and from a scrum in the home side’s 22, looked to have scored when Sam Cassidy broke through but the ball was held up over the line. 

Frome continued to attack and after a num-
ber of phases close to the line Dave Martin dived over under the posts for a try, converted by Max Stickley. 

Walcot hit back immediately with a break down the line to score in the corner for an unconverted try. 

Frome continued to press and Murray White broke through to touch down under the posts. Walcot continued to defend stoutly but Frome extended their lead when the home side infringed at the ruck and Max Stickley converted the penalty to give Frome a 17-5 lead at half time.

  • Frome Town seal historic double with dramatic cup final win

Frome Town completed a historic league and cup double with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Portishead Town last night in the Somerset Premier Cup final at Twerton Park. 

The Robins capped a remarkable season, having already secured the Southern League Division One title, but were made to work for their latest silverware after twice coming from behind. 

Portishead took the lead on 12 minutes, before David Duru brought Frome level just before the break. The Robins fell behind again early in the second half, conceding on 51 minutes, but substitute Sam Meakes equalised with 10 minutes remaining to set up a tense finish. 

Callum Gould then struck the decisive goal on 86 minutes to seal the win and spark wild celebrations. 

The victory marks Frome’s fifth Somerset Premier Cup triumph, following successes in 1967, 1969, 1983 and 2009, but their last two finals, in 2014 and last year in 2025, have ended in disappointment. 

Town fans will have a chance to celebrate the club’s first ever league and cup double in the final game of the season in a repeat fixture against Portishead Town on Saturday at Badgers Hill.

  • Frome bids to become UK’s Town of Culture

Frome has taken the first step in its bid to become the UK’s Town of Culture, with Frome Town Council submitting an expression of interest to the national competition.

The Town of Culture programme celebrates towns where culture is part of everyday life, and where creativity can play a role in strengthening communities, improving wellbeing and supporting local economies.

Following a well-attended stakeholder meeting, Frome’s bid builds on the town’s strong cultural foundations, from its nationally recognised venues and organisations to its network of festivals, markets and community-led activities such as the Carnival and the Children’s Festival.

If successful, the bid could bring up to £3 million of investment to the town, supporting an ambitious programme of cultural activity and a long-term legacy focused on cultural opportunities for local people.
