Frome Town Council has published an update on the workings within the Town Hall building, and who might be moving in, and out.

The report details how the council has said goodbye to Active and In Touch – the charity has moved to their own premises across the road earlier this year.

Fair Frome's lease is up at the end of the year with discussions having started around whether they will renew; the building is used for their pantry project on Tuesday afternoons following their move to new premises.

Frome Learning Partnership, who are on a short lease have confirmed that they will remain in place at the end of the financial year.

This represents a reduction in long term tenants however FTC say they have been approached by several interested charities and groups looking for office space.

In the report the council says that the bookings in the system at March 31 2024 show a deficit of £28,110.98 against the budget. However, at the end of the first quarter they are on track to reach our income budget by year end.

Rooms at the hall can be booked - and it is also a venue for weddings.

Regular bookings at the hall include : Community Education, Young Somerset, Mind, The Probation Service continue to operate after hours, Somerset Skills and Learning, Garston Vets. The Refugee Welcome Hub currently operates on Tuesday and Thursday in the café, Citizens Advice (CA) will be running appointment sessions alongside with Mendip Health Connections and, from September, CA will be operating a drop-in service every Monday.
