Under fire - Fusion s Southend Leisure and Tennis Centre BOSSES have come under fire for failing to re-open Southend leisure centres immediately after lockdown, despite a £1.5million bail out. Councillors called on Fusion Leisure’s contract to be reconsidered after only one swimming pool opened immediately following lockdown. Residents also continued to be charged, with the issue was raised at place scrutiny meeting on Monday. Leisure centres have now re-opened, but councillors insisted this should have happened immediately. Conservative group leader, Tony Cox, said: “No other private company has been bailed out to the significant tunes that fusion has during this pandemic with public money.
In some cases, facilities would be unable to reopen due to operational restrictions such as reduced capacity, which made them financial unviable in the short term.
On Thursday, ukactive chairwoman Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson wrote to Prime Minister Boris Johnson urging the Government to extend the National Leisure Recovery Fund for public operators, and introduce VAT relief for the private sector in line with other sectors.
Ukactive chief executive Huw Edwards said: “Group exercise classes and indoor sports are loved by millions of people across the UK so it’s great to see them start to return.
“Through these popular community activities, our members have become the engine room of physical activity in our nations, making their reopening a vital moment for our physical and mental recovery.
