In both cases, the people in charge should have seen the problem in
the first place, but having not done so, when I reported it, they
should have acted far more quickly. The former problem should have

With the barriers, all it needed was for someone to buy a lock and chain
or a bike lock and use that as a temporary measure. That could have been

much larger building, that they have responsibility for and a permanent
on-site presence.

For the swimming baths, at the very least, they could have taped the
consumer unit closed, there and then.
