One person described the announcement as “amazing news”.

Members previously had to pay £1 to use the car park, £2 for up to two hours, and £2.50 for a maximum of three hours.

Users will still have to pay £3.50 for up to four hours of use, £5 for up to five hours, and £7.50 for more than five hours.

These remain in effect from 8am until 6.30pm.

The leisure centre has gym facilities, an indoor pool, plus a health suite.

It was taken over by Maidstone Leisure Trust (MLT) and Serco in May after David Lloyd announced it was pulling out of running it in February.

MLT, which also helps run Mote Park and Maidstone Leisure Centre, is run in partnership with the borough council.
