I agree. There should be both enough expertise and sufficient resource in the team to spot this, and it is telling that this is not the first hiccup. It suggests to me that there is an issue with culture as much as anything.

Just been on the NYMR web site. Clicked on the Thomas Event. Page came up with Thomas on it. Right above Thomas are the words KIDS GO FREE. I know that is not correct, but how many potential visitors see this, go to book and see the actual...

True, but what they say is the intention to provide a temporary replacement. They say nothing about repairing or replacing the old one as such. Grosmont Parish Council (who have neither the authority or the funding for such projects) have been...

Well they would have to say that they are working to repair or replace as they have a legal obligation to keep the path open and usable.
