Santa Crash Plan
Cheltenham Council has been asked about their emergency planning if Santa should crash there during his annual global present delivery extravaganza.
Councils are known to have all sorts of emergency plans for any number of emergencies – toxic waste spillage, emergency flooding procedures and so on.
But one of the most bizarre Freedom of Information requests was about plans to cope with a Santa related emergency.
Earlier this year WIMPS.tv reported that a 'concerned citizen' had written to Leicester City Council wanting to know “what provisions you have in place in the event of a zombie invasion?” because the citizen was worried that “having watched several films it is clear that preparation for such an event is poor and one that councils throughout the kingdom must prepare for.”
There are more bizarre FoI requests on the BBC News website.
