A key section of a new traffic-free route linking Frome to Radstock is set to progress after the local campaign group, Frome’s Missing Links, successfully reached its £20,000 fundraising target. The project aims to establish a continuous multi-user path connecting Frome to the Colliers Way in Great Elm, creating a link to Radstock and beyond. Together, the funds will cover the cost of tarmacking a 1.3km stretch of path known as ‘Phase 2’ of the ‘missing link’. This section runs between Elliots Lane in Hapsford and the Colliers Way, which itself is a traffic-free route connecting Radstock to Sustrans’ Route 24 to Bath. “We are now ready to appoint a contractor for this work,” said Richard Ackroyd, chair of Frome’s Missing Links.
