What’s it like to be a landlord? – some personal stories

Being a landlord isn’t necessarily easy. Sometimes it can feel that you’re under fire from all sides, including the media and general public, says Frome Landlords Association (FLA). 

On Monday 8th April, at 7pm, FLA is inviting all landlords in the town for an evening of discussion and reflection, commencing with a screening of the Panorama documentary ‘Britain’s Most Controversial Landlord’, which itself caused controversy after being screened by BBC1 on 18th March. 

“Do you know a landlord who might find this event helpful? If so, can you forward the invitation and encourage them to come along?” says Vicki Burke from the FLA steering group. “Thank you for helping us to grow the association, which we hope will become a force for good in the town.” 

The event, which is free of charge, will take place at The Good Heart, 7 Palmer Street, Frome BA11 1DS. FLA is an initiative of Fair Housing for Frome.

  • Wild About Frome: Time to get seedy!

Hello, it’s Kerry here from the Frome Seed Library. 
Your free, permanent seed swap located inside our fantastic town library. We’ve now reached one of the most exciting times of the year for us seedy folk...seed harvesting time! 
But why bother saving seed when you could just grab a cheap packet of seeds from the supermarket next spring? 
Well, you see each and every seed, from the mighty 25kg coco de mer to the fine dust of the foxglove, is a perfectly evolved vessel of genetics, which given the right conditions will germinate and (hopefully) flourish. 
Whilst there is nothing wrong with buying your seeds, the vast majority of the seeds sold in the UK (around 80%) are overwhelmingly imported from overseas, where seeds have been grown in carefully controlled environments. This means your seed has no genetic memory of that soggy summer of 2024, your claggy clay soil, or the recent drought, whereas your plants at home will and for those that have continued to thrive despite everything, well that degree of hyper-local resilience and adaptability is something no seed company can replicate. 
As politicians warn of future food shortages, it is crucial to recognise the role of seed in increasing our local food resilience; they are our insurance policy but the type of seed and provenance is key.

  • Residents call for action over school traffic scheme

Concerns have been raised by residents living near a Frome school over the enforcement of a traffic scheme, with reports of congestion, speeding, blocked driveways and verbal abuse. People living near Oakfield Academy are calling for greater enforcement of the Safer School Streets scheme, which they say is failing to prevent traffic problems during school drop-off and pick-up times.
