ACTIVE Crediton (formerly Lords Meadow Leisure Centre) has shut its doors due to the presence of Travellers in the field next door.

“We are sorry to let you know that Active Crediton is currently closed due to Travellers occupying the adjacent field,” a spokesperson said.

“The safety of our customers and staff is always our highest priority, and we have closed the centre until it is safe to reopen.

“We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you updated.”

Further updates as we have them.
