On 21st November, Sarah Dufton from Derbyshire Police’s Cyber Crime unit presented a short course on how to avoid being defrauded online or by phone, etc. This was a simple course that covered a lot of methods that criminals use to get our money and everyone got something out of it.
We have invited Sarah back to give two more courses:
Thursday 22nd January starting at 6:30pm for an hour for parents/carers to know how to keep children safe in Repton Village Hall
Thursday 12th March starting at 6:30pm for an hour for any local residents (this will be a repeat of the November course) in Repton Village Hall.
The pump track situated on Mitre Field in the heart of the village is now complete and ready to use! The track was completed just in time for the half term where it attracted many users from across the Parish, who enjoyed the good weather and the new facility.
The track has received praise from all users who have had a chance to ride, roll or pedal around the track. A pleasant side effect is it has brought life to the play area too and it is great to see the Mitre field being used as intended for the play and enjoyment of the children of our Parish.
It has been great to see children as young as 2 learning to ride the track and gaining their confidence, to teens with experience honing their skills and developing new ones. It is amazing to watch the quick progression, I chatted to a parent as their youngest child went from nervously walking with their bike, to bombing around the track with glee within a couple of hours, then eagerly challenging their much older sister to a race, or more precisely endless races with boundless energy. Some of the older children including Officer Bob have also been seen enjoying the track. The track has met its design ambitions of being open to all people and all things on wheels, a local teacher was spotted testing his skateboarding skills while their children rode the track on their bikes. The bravery of the very young on scooters and balance bikes is something to behold. The track is primarily intended for the young to enjoy, however if you are an older big kid and have a wheeled object you can ride or roll on do dust them off and give the track a lap or two, it is surprisingly good exercise and good fun.
The planning process is now complete so we will be planning a formal launch event in the new year to celebrate and officially open the new facility. Keep an eye on the village news, Facebook and the Repton Parish Council Website for more info.
The Parish council would like to thank all the supporters of this project, we have received over 70 pledges of support from individuals, families and organisations which has helped fund the project. Thanks to those that responded to surveys that gave us the support to progress a daft idea to reality and thank you to all the users of the Mitre field for sharing this resource with a wider community of users.
To mark the completion, we intend to pop up a nice plaque next to the track for posterity, listing all the supporters of the project, from the smallest to the largest donation, all are equally key to the success of this project. It will represent how the community helped bring the track into being and I hope a nice sign of gratitude from the Repton Parish Council. Thank you for your support and I hope you enjoy the facility. I would also like to thank the members of the Repton Parish Council that are the trustees of the Mitre Field for their help and efforts over the last 4 years of this project.
See you on Track.

The Mitre Field car park will be closed during the construction phase of the new multi-function track (“pump track”) from 22/9/2025 for approximately 5 weeks.
The car park will be open for parking and access to the Scout hut from 5pm until that evening’s JOGS activities are completed.
We request that the JOGS groups and sections using the car park in the hours 5pm onwards ensure that all cars are removed from the car park after the evening’s activities are complete and secure the car park to show that the car park is closed.
There must be no cars in the car park between 8am to 5pm during the construction phase so that HGVs can have unhindered access to deliver or remove materials throughout construction, turning and offloading, etc., and health and safety to segregate the public from the hazards of a construction site.
Work is due to start on the installation of the multi-function track at Mitre Field on 22nd September. For the duration of the construction the Field including the playground and the parking area will be closed, for safety reasons. It is expected to take 3 weeks for completion.
