Request

1: Between April 2015 and March 2025 how many reports/complaints did the council receive about travelling/temporary funfairs or funfair rides (such as those held at events like festivals/music concerts/fireworks displays etc)? 

2. Of those complaints for the time frame above, can you break this number down to solely those relating to a person being injured or hurt by rides, games or activities at travelling/temporary funfairs or funfair-style attractions. Where possible please list the date of the incident, the nature of the complaint and where in the district/borough it took place.  

I appreciate any formal investigations would be carried out by the HSE (which I have made similar requests to) but as the local authority likely
