Frome Town

Suggestions for the betterment of Frome can be made to the Frome Town Centre Manager for Mendip District Council, Katy Duke, at Mendip Council Website.

Dead and Discourteous Links

Report any dead links or send new ones to this address. In particular, if you have a website in Frome or its surrounding area, send us its internet address and a short description so that we can add it here. No charge, but we expect a link. The internet is a network, so link to us from your website then it works both ways. If you contact any of the people below please mention this website. Then we all benefit.

It seems nobody reports dead links and few seem to return the courtesy of a link even when they have asked for one here. Dead links have been cleared, and, getting grumpy about discourtesy too, many discourteous ones have gone too. If your link is not dead or discourtesous and we are mistaken please re-send it, and remember that a courtesy link back is… er… courteous. Link to:
