£1.2m for Repton Park
Repton Park residents are being asked to have their say on
what sort of community space they’d like in their
neighbourhood.
As a result of local housing development, around £1.2m funding
is available to create new community facilities for Repton Park,
including a community building, multi-use games area and football
pitches.
Ashford Borough Council is leading the project as part of its
commitment to improving community and youth facilities across the
borough, and wants local residents to share their views on the sort
of activities and spaces the community building should have.
Repton Park is a phased development of 1,250 housing units
between the A28 and the A20, and, with its own high street and a
brand new primary school (due to open in September www.reptonmanorprimary.co.uk).
The community facilities will be located on what will be the
main high street of the development, next to the primary school and
it is planned for these to open in 2014.
There is also provision for a health venue. Plans include a
grassed football pitch, and a multi-use games area that can be used
for tennis, football, netball, basketball and general kick
about.
The community building could include a public café, large or
small events hall, an IT room, indoor play or youth spaces, or an
access point for advice services such as housing, health and
employment.
On site activities could include arts and drama clubs, sports
and dance clubs, educational courses, or social events.
Residents can have their say on what should be included at

residents already living on Repton Park or in neighbouring estates
such as Godinton Park or Orchard Heights.
