Health and Wellbeing
Frome Town Council aims to see a flourishing and active community of people and organisations working together.
It wants to give everyone a chance to be included in the town’s decision making, for example giving young people opportunities to have a say.
Prosperity and Resilience
Frome Town Council will support projects which help the business community thrive, connect with each other and with the town, and provide jobs and prosperity. We are also interested in looking at projects which seek to capitalise on energy efficiency, reduce waste and or promote sustainable transport.
Environment
Frome Town Council recognises that the town’s open spaces help people stay well. Walking, cycling and places to play sport are important for both health and spending time with friends and family. We are also keen to support projects that will make green spaces more attractive, varied and easy for everyone to use.
