The spotlight was turned on parking issues in Frome during the week's town council meeting.

Somerset County Council's parking services manager Steve Deakin presented on the residents' parking schemes in Weymouth Road and Trinity. 

Mr Deakin told the meeting that vehicle ownership in Frome has jumped from 20,500 in early 2020 to the latest figures of 24,200 which is an increase of 18 percent and has led to an increase in demand for parking.

Steve Deakin addressed the meeting.

That prompted a lively discussion with many points raised both for and against the parking solution on Weymouth Road.

Not all points could be discussed in the time allowed so residents are invited to write their questions and concerns to Mr Deakin ([email protected]) who assured the meeting he will reply.

Mr Deakin added that his team team will review the impact of Weymouth Road and identify a way forward for Weymouth Road and Trinity Road areas.

There will be a Frome wide review including car parks once the new unitary authority is in place. You can follow the full discussion by viewing the recording of the meeting via this link.
