TRAFFIC ground to a halt in the Market Place last week when pupils from Frome went ‘on strike’ to protest against climate change.
The protests were part of the Global Climate Strike on Friday 20th September, which saw millions of people across the world take to the streets to protest, calling on businesses and governments to cut emissions and bring ‘an end to the age of fossil fuels’.
