The site, located near Commerce Park and a proposed housing development, has long been the subject of concern over living conditions. Councillor Adam Boyden, representing Frome North, raised the issue during a full council meeting on March 4. He highlighted reports from residents and Berkley Parish Council detailing poor maintenance, environmental health hazards, damaged homes from vermin, inadequate street lighting, and unsafe pedestrian surfaces.
