The leisure centre itself, which is run by Halo, has not closed as a result of the car park being closed.

Halo runs leisure centres across Herefordshire, Shropshire, Wiltshire and Bridgend County, and is responsible for both the leisure centre and leisure pool in Hereford.

Halo also runs leisure centres and pools across the rest of Herefordshire, including in Bromyard, Kington, Ledbury, Leominster, Ross-on-Wye, and Wigmore.
