• Forest of Dean District Council was criticised for its ‘scandalous waste’
• Authority spent nearly £400,000 renovating reception area at offices
• Another £120,000 was used on demolishing a building they failed to sell
• It was attacked for shutting tourism offices and imposing waste charges
• Apology has been posted on authority’s website and in press releases
