THE Culm Valley Sports Centre at Cullompton has been temporarily closed following the arrival of a group of travellers on a nearby field.
Mid Devon District Council took the action on Sunday, July 28.
Mid Devon Leisure said: “This measure is precautionary to ensure we can open our facilities safely, with the wellbeing of our staff and customers our priority.
“Mid Devon Leisure has a zero tolerance approach to the misuse of our sites and facilities, and we will not tolerate any abuse towards our staff from any user.
“We will be monitoring the situation closely and will re-open as soon as possible. Customers affected by the closure can also speak to a member of our leisure team for further advice.
“Thank you for your patience.”
