Fair to say not everyone is keen on the upcoming second Breather Day in Frome - THIS Saturday

There will be none of this - traffic in the Market Place

On Saturday in Frome there is the second of the Town Council's Green Breather Day where the town centre is closed to allow pedestrians to walk freely about the town.

The theme for this, second event, is sustainable transport.

But it is not popular with all, with last month's event pushing a lot of traffic down The Portway with long traffic queues towards Asda.

One post on social media argued; "Greener for the market place whilst all traffic is at a standstill around every other part of Frome."

Mayor Sara Butler said: "Green Breather Days are a brilliant way for residents to experience the town traffic free – the last one was fab and allowed the Boyle Cross to be filled with trees – this one is going to be all about wheels so bring your bikes and scooters or walk down and join in the fun activities!"

Dr Bike will also be in attendance for minor bike repairs with his free cycle surgery and The Big Lemon Bus and will be exploring tomorrow's technology today in a solar powered bus, along with some incentives to use buses. There will be e-bikes for you to try,  discount code to co-wheels car club and a kids scooter obstacle challenge.
