Frome Vale is an electoral ward in Bristol, England, lying northeast of the city centre. It is represented by two members on Bristol City Council, which are Louis Martin and Yassin Al Maghrabi of the Labour Party.
Frome Vale includes the suburbs of Broomhill[3] and Fishponds, and also the Glenside campus of the University of the West of England.[4] The ward is named after the River Frome, which runs through the area in a wooded valley through the parks of Oldbury Court and Snuff Mills.[5]
Frome Vale is a very mixed area, with a split of housing types, sizes and tenures that is roughly representative of the wider city. The ward generally sits mid-table in rankings of measures of deprivation, except for the Gill Avenue housing estate, which ranks in the top 3% most deprived areas in England, and Blackberry Hill, which ranks in the top quartile.[6]
