Bringing you news for 10 years

THE Frome Valley Voice marks its 10th birthday this month.

The first edition of the paper appeared in the community in July 2013, with its trademark mix of news and events.

Ten years ago, the paper reported on a financial crisis at St Peter's Church and parking problems at the Medieval Barn.

Schools featured in the paper, with St Michael’s celebrating its 200th anniversary and Frampton Cotterell CofE School unveiling its new logo.

Both schools are in this month's paper, too, with St Michael's celebrating its latest good Ofsted report on page 5 and Frampton's young engineers on our front page.

We have reported on the closure of the Live and Let Live recently, but in July 2013 we were saying farewell to the Star in Coalpit Heath with a look back at its history.

There was also excitement about the resurrection of the Frampton Festival; something we hope to report on in the future once again, following our story on page 8 today.
