Gloucester City Council had made it harder to use the pay by phone option – often favoured by elderly residents who do not want to pay online – for the annual £50 bin charge.
A motion to the extraordinary general meeting of the city council on October 19 calls for Andy Lewis, Conservative cabinet member for culture and leisure, to make a written apology for the failure to agree a deal with Aspire.
Liberal Democrats councillors warning that any further financial shocks during 2023/24 would lead to services being cut to balance the books.
The city council announced the move as part of the phased reopening of leisure services in Gloucester after the collapse of the Aspire Trust last month.
Councillor Andrew Lewis, cabinet member for culture and leisure, said he hoped the Barton Pool and the Twyver Pool would be reopened by January 1.
