What3Words is a great idea. Every 3m x 3m square on Earth assigned a unique three word mapping address. Try it out at https://map.what3words.com/decide.empty.kept (zoom out)
Critics
Some critics of this method of addressing every three metre square of the two dimensions of a flat Earth have suggested that the algorithms used to generate the sequence of words could be deliberately modified to produce tailored results. It’s an unlikely coincidence that the Saxonvale site in Frome is given the address ///decide.empty.kept
Frome Saxonvale
The Frome Saxonvale site has remained empty for over twenty years. Locals can influence, change, support and learn more here.
Fromester supports almost any active use of the 9.2 acre town centre site (approx 37,000 square metres) owned by Mendip DC and the additional smaller plot owned by Frome Town Council (now sold to pay for a fountain).
Top of the list of preferred uses in recent official MORI polls is a market garden producing fruit and vegetables for the local population. Regrettably it does not fully maximise investment returns for extinction bound Mendip District Council.
For over 20 years successive development attempts have produced little commitment from the private sector.
The Saxonvale area in Frome is one of many previously used to slaughter cows, pigs, sheep and bees. For hundreds of years livestock from the surrounding Selwood fields and forests were bought to the knacker’s yards and butcher-rows of Frome.
A Market Town with a Market Garden
A market garden in the centre of Frome could produce vegetables and fruit for sale locally, providing horticultural employment and education, using a balanced approach for the future use of our publicly owned common land. Top science experts, religious leaders, busybodies and optimistic clever locals have estimated that a brownfield site has potential to harvest up to £250.00 of wholesale nutrition every year per square metre from a combination of aquaculture and hydroponic farming techniques. That’s roughly £9m per year using the entire Saxonvale site, more than the slaughtered meat the land prospered from previously.
Acorn Property Group (///bumpy.sweat.wedge) have proposed a typical development, as expected from flat-earthers without fiscal sympathy for the local population, it is a truly bland offering.

What3Words is a great idea and has already been put to good use in the real world. Pinpointing those in need of emergency services to within three square metres has only been science fiction until now. Install the App on your smartphone right away. Then phone the council and ask them what plans they have for Frome’s sustainable future.
