Campaigners fighting for a different vision for the last town centre space in Mendip have appealed to the council to " Do the right thing" and not ruin the opportunity for a multi use space.
Mayday Saxonvale has been fighting plans to turn the heart of Frome into a housing area with limited commercial space.
The latest push to gets its alternative plan seen and agreed is a film by a former BBC producer and reporter about the 12 and a half acres of land in Frome.
It was shown at last weekend's community action day at the Silk Mill in Frome and pits the community- led Mayday Saxonvale plans versus the Mendip District Council high density housing plans for Saxonvale.
