Gateshead Council Website Fail #2

After yesterday’s post I didn’t really imagine that it’d attract the attention of anyone in the right departments – I guess I just assumed the problem would get fixed due to someone high up noticing it. What I didn’t imagine is that the problem would get replaced by another totally different issue:
Server Error in '/' Application.

What sort of process is in place to allow a developer to replace a known failing page with another failing page? Surely, knowing that the first version was failing you’d be double-eager to check the latest upload is working? Baffling.
