Outside Bodies
Frome Town Council supports several organisations in the town, many through the community grant scheme, others by agreed formal contracts or Service Level Agreements. These groups are known as Outside Bodies and it is common that a Town Councillor is appointed as a representative to them. The nominated Town Councillor will attend meetings of the Outside Body and feedback to Full Council on relevant matters, opportunities and concerns.
