Yes, the response seems to be pretty lacking in responsibility. It is all someone else's fault.
1. the rubbish - it is not all about "capacity" or education. It is also about when and how often bins are emptied. Similar issues arise elsewhere where LLTNPA are responsible for ensuring rubbish/litter collection.
2. the toilets - LLTNPA have chosen to "outsource" a facility that comprises a cafe and toilets. Presumably they make some money out of this in the form of rent. LLTNPA could have required the cafe operator to keep the toilets open 24hrs. Yes, that would have come at a cost and no doubt the rent received would have reflected that cost. So LLTNPA appear to have chosen to put receipt of revenue over availability of public facilities.
3. the new pound coin - the response is laughable. Given it is from a public body, it is also appalling. It is as if the introduction of the new £1 coin was sprung upon LLTNPA without warning.
4. legibility of the ticket - not dealt with in the response. But presumably this would not have been LLTNPA's fault either. I wonder whose it would have been?
