Allegedly, Blackpool’s secondary-protected city hall was neglected because of its “hanging window frames” and “large holes in the ceiling”.
Conservative Party leader Coun Tony Williams accused the city council of not taking more care of the historic building, disappointing residents.
However, a meeting of the whole council was told that £39,000 had been spent in the summer to repair and refurbish the exterior of the city hall.
However, Congressman Williams said, "The paint on the wall is peeling off and some window frames are hanging outside." The situation inside is different.
He added: "If you go to the top floor, just turn around the corner opposite the Conservative Party office and you will see a big hole in the ceiling and rain is coming in from there.
"I know it's a cost issue, but it must be some kind of protected building, but we are really disappointed. We disappointed the people in this town."
Congressman Mark Smith, a cabinet member in charge of business, enterprise and job creation, said that external work has recently been completed and there is now a maintenance plan.
Scaffolding was erected around the buildings in Talbot Square in the summer, and improvements were made at the same time, including cleaning the exterior walls and windows, repairing and painting windows, new pigeon protection, installing new exterior lighting and new interior curtains and blinds .
The second-level protected city hall was built between 1895 and 1900 in the James I style.
In 2019, work was also carried out to restore the decorative ceiling of the Parliament Chamber at a cost of £13,000.
