Why is this relevant? Unless you are suggesting that no one ever challenges
a public body because they will always use tax payers money to defend
themselves, then I can't see why it should matter that the council tax
payers are paying in this case.

Also, if no one ever complains, nothing is ever put right. It's possible,
even if unlikely, that if enough complaints are received over matters such
as this, then the council may raise the minimum intelligence requirement of
Parking Attendants to something substantially above a room temperature IQ,
which can only be a benefit to us all.
