Incompetence: CCBC (and other Public Bodies and Statutory Undertakers...)
Hugo:
At least CCBC is not the only Council in Wales making massive mistakes. I wonder which Council in Wales is the worst for making howlers?

Contractors are digging up a Conwy tennis court surface that was only laid in October.
The tennis courts at Bodlondeb Park in Conwy are currently undergoing a ?108,000 transformation.
The work was scheduled to be completed in August 2023, but the contractors are already removing the new surface laid in October 2023 with diggers now on site.
While Conwy County Council says the cost of the remedial work is being covered by the Lawn Tennis Association, Conwy has admitted it will now charge tennis players ?4 at most times of the day.
This is despite the often-busy courts previously being free.
When asked if the remedial work would cost taxpayers and, if so, how much, the council spokeswoman said Conwy didn?t know.
?We don?t hold these figures as this is being completed at no cost to CCBC,? :roll:
?The project is funded and overseen by the Lawn Tennis Association. We are grateful for the very significant investment that they are making into our tennis courts.?

Hugo:
It's a similar scenario to what I posted recently. Rhos promenade should be completed soon and now CCBC has put an application in for two new kiosks on the promenade so the promenade will be dug up in certain places after it has just been completed ???

A COUNCIL has been slammed for spending ?160,000 on new public toilets in Llanrwst, and about ?21,000 of that was on the hire of portable toilets.
Conwy County Borough Council is facing funding pressures in 2024/25 including pay awards for teachers and local government staff, general inflation, higher cost of borrowing as well as significant demand led pressures in social care and homelessness, which total around ?29m.
After a settlement of ?4m, they face a resource shortfall of ?25m.
