FROME’S vaccine roll out is continuing to make “good progress”, says Frome Medical Practice.

Practice manager Karen Creffield says, “We are encouraging anyone aged 50 and above who has not yet received a vaccine to contact the practice as soon as possible.  We are currently focussing on delivering 2nd vaccines. We are aware some of our patients may be concerned about appointments for 2nd doses.  Please be assured we will be in contact to organise your second dose vaccine as soon as we have confirmation of deliveries.  

“This will usually be 11 weeks after your first vaccine and no earlier than 6 weeks.   We are not experiencing any supply issues at the current time. We have completed all our second doses for our care homes and most of our housebound patients.”

  • Frome bus routes denied share of £13.1m for Saturday services

By Local Democracy Reporter Daniel Mumby

Two bus routes in Frome have been denied a share of £13.1m of central government funding to bring back regular Saturday services.

The Department for Transport (DfT) confirmed in December 2025 that Somerset would receive just over £24.7m of funding to support local bus services up to 2030.

Of this, just over £13.1m comprises revenue spending, which can be used to reduce running costs for passengers (e.g. capping the fares on Taunton’s park and ride service), while nearly £11.6m has been provided for capital projects, such as the delivery of Taunton’s new transport hub and its rural counterpart in Langport.

Councillor Dawn Denton, the Conservative division member for Frome North, has called on the council to allocate some of the £13.1m towards restoring Saturday services to the 162 and 184 routes, which run between Frome and the neighbouring villages.

  • Frome man completes gruelling charity challenge

A Frome man has completed one of the ‘hardest challenges’ of his life, raising nearly £5,000 for three charities.

Ben Hansell swam 15.5 kilometres, cycled 607 kilometres and ran 120 kilometres in five days, raising £4,742.40 for cancer counselling charity We Hear You, local mental health charity Big Moose and children’s cancer charity Morgan’s Army.

Initially, Ben had set his sights on completing five Ironman events in five days. However, after falling ill on the first day, he was forced to reduce the distances.

“When I started on the first day it was all going fine, then I got to the run and I got really sick,” he said. “I was taking lots of nutrition, like energy gels and stuff, but for the first time ever it just didn’t agree with me and I had terrible stomach cramps.”
