I think we definitely need a topic relating to incompetence by councils. The latest snippet concerns asbestos being used as infill in Rhos playground:

This should be easy to check: "Contractors had been working for the council to upgrade the Rhos-on-Sea play area close to Colwyn Bay cricket club at the time the asbestos was found." So clearly it will be a matter of minutes to identify the guilty party or parties as there will be detailed records relating to this work and it will also have been inspected by a council official.
And no; it's not April 1st...
