    This month, When in Frome takes a closer look at the housing crisis gripping our town — what’s causing it, who’s affected, and what’s being done. We meet local legend Terri Pitt, the inspiring force behind Frome’s Community Fridge project, and Sonia laces up her skates for a spin around the Cheese and Grain’s roller disco.

    We meet the owner of the Westway Cinema, get an update on Frome's missing links project and dig into the dark past with the story of one of Frome’s most infamous 19th-century murders.

    Plus Frome’s Great Big Green Week, a trip to the Merlin Theatre, and of course, Becky from Fabulous Frome is back with her essential What’s On guide for June.

    We embark on a mission to find Frome's oldest pub. Sonia breaks a sweat (and maybe a smile) trying out the Wildcat Sauna at the Rye Bakery. Daisy sits down with Local Legend Ginny (aka Cheryl) from dance class Mojo Moves. Plus we've got updates on plans for a new skate park, a bit of Morris dancing, a chorus of birdsong and Becky's unmissable Fabulous Frome forecast. It's quirky, light-hearted and unmistakably Frome.
