The City council has an income of £288.1 million, the ability to raise council tax (5% in 21/22), and circa £50 million in reserves.
They also scoop up a lot of Government funding for major projects, think it was around £18 million in the Budget to mess around with the train station (again!).
St Margarets bus station (built 1986, refurbished 2006, partially demolished in 2020) is being rebuilt (again) with external funding and marketed as "carbon neutral".
We are even getting 100 electric buses £19 million funding from HMG, £26 million from the bus companies, £2.2 million from the council
Not so sure keeping public toilets open makes a huge dent in those figures when it is perfectly feasible to charge a nominal fee (20p/50p) for such facilities.
However, it does have a hugely detrimental impact on the public.
Almost getting back to Maslow again - its the little things people miss but they are often the first things Councils get rid of.
