The mayor of Ledbury has expressed concern that Lawn-side car park is only half-full since Herefordshire Council introduced charges earlier this year.
Coun Keith Francis said he is concerned the move will result in further on-street parking.
But the Herefordshire councillor for Ledbury, Don Rule, said users at the swimming pool had expressed favourable comments to him that now they could find places to park near the neighbouring facility.
