Leicester City Council 'not ready' for zombie attack

A worried member of the public has forced Leicester City Council to admit it is unprepared for a zombie invasion.

The authority received a Freedom of Information request which said provisions to deal with an attack, often seen in horror films, were poor.

The "concerned citizen" said the possibility of such an event was one that councils should be aware of.

"We've had a few wacky ones before but this one did make us laugh," said Lynn Wyeth, head of information governance.

The Freedom of Information Act allows a right of access to recorded information held by public authorities.

Ms Wyeth said she was unaware of any specific reference to a zombie attack in the council's emergency plan, however some elements of it could be applied if the situation arose.

Other submissions to the council have included requests for records of paranormal activity and haunted buildings within the city.

"To you it might seem frivolous and a waste of time... but to different people it actually means something," said Ms Wyeth.

"Everybody has their own interests and their own reasons for asking these questions."

She added high-profile cases, such as the MPs expenses scandal, has raised public awareness of the right to request information records.

Ed Thurlow, who runs zombie website Terror4Fun, said he felt a zombie invasion in Leicester was highly unlikely.

"I think perhaps think [the "Concerned Citizen"] has watched films like 28 Days Later a few too many times."

Such complacency will come back to haunt us.

Funny thing is.... if you prepare for a zombie apocalypse, you've pretty much prepared yourself for anything.

[Thinking Aloud]

Jain! What have you been writing in the papers this time??!

[Clinton Huxley]

Wigan wasn't prepared either and we all know how that ended up.

What happens if someone from Wigan bites you..?

Wigan Zombies prefer to encase their victims in pastry first.

The problem with one city not being prepared is surely that it will become a zombie gateway and expose other areas to risk?

On every street corner, there should be a cabinet with a glassfront, containing axes and loaded shotguns, with signs saying "Break glass and use contents in case of zombie outbreak"

The citizenry, being rational and law-abiding, would never break the glass in any other circumstances...

In this particular case, we will have to admit that Seth has the right of it...

I pity the zombies that are stupid enough to assail his fortress of freedom...

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Can we move this to events and meets?

I pity the zombies that are stupid enough to assail his fortress of freedom "Me first and Devil take the hindmost"...
