Safer School Streets for Frome: Residents Survey (pre-scheme)

Have your say

The Safer School Streets for Frome project has been working with many people locally, to explore ways to make the streets around Avanti Park School, Bright Stars nursery, Critchill School, Oakfield Academy and Trinity First School, safer and easier for people to walk, cycle or scoot in the area.

The scheme will be trialled for an 18 month period starting Spring 2024. Click here for further information.

We are asking residents to complete this short pre-trial survey to understand your views on road safety and active travel and to help us assess the impact of the project.

The nine short questions below should take no more than 5 minutes to answer and there is space at the bottom for your comments.

Your participation is anonymous and no personal information will be shared or stored outside of Frome Town Council. If you have any questions, please contact Owen King at: oking@frometowncouncil.gov.uk.
