The Parklands Leisure Centre 

Meadowlands Leisure Pool 

These centres are operated and managed by Fusion Lifestyle on behalf of the Borough Council. 

From October 1 2019 all Fusion Lifestyle leisure centres in Devon will be going cashless. This means there will be no cash held at tills throughout the buildings.

Why are the centres going cashless?

• to ensure a much safer system for both adults and children using the centres and follows most schools' lunch payment system by using pre-paid methods.  
• to encourage faster entry into the centres with less queuing time;
• to reduce cash management handling costs
• to move to a system in line with the way modern society is moving. 

It's also much safer for the centre staff, since payments are quicker and ensure a higher level of security, meaning there is a lower risk of crime.

Feedback from parents using Fusion's other cashless centres is that they prefer the security of children not carrying cash, and are safe in the knowledge that money is being spent as intended.

For centre users, there are multiple ways to pay:

• They can book online before visiting or preload a 'Rewards card' with money.  These are free to get from the centres and can be used by adults and children alike. 
• Users can use credit or debit cards - or Apple pay. 

There is a comprehensive promotion plan in place to ensure that all of the users, both regular and occasional, are aware of the changes:

• An email informing leisure centre members of the changes has been sent this week and a reminder will be sent on Tuesday 24 September. 
• Social media
• Website and PR
• Onsite campaign (leaflets and posters) to support
