When are technical difficulties actually technical difficulties?

Many months ago I had a go at the Town Council about the bad website is runs. (Is the Town Council website "Fit for purpose" - 16th February 2010.) Eventually all the Town Council did was cover themselves with "due to technical difficulties". But what does "technical difficulties" actually mean?

These aren't really "technical difficulties". The website isn't working, the links are broken and we don't know how to fix them. This is more likely. Because The Town Mayor gets new clothes but the website is falling apart. It is not as though the website doesn't change. The bits in green and yellow keep changing.

In a letter from the Auditors I am informed of the following:

IF the website is in the process of being upgraded why not inform website users of this rather than use the term "technical difficulties". I just don't believe what I'm being told by this Town Council!
