Dear Eden District Council,

Currently I believe Eden District Council is the organiser of the following events that take place at Appleby Fair (via their position in MASCG). Currently I believe they apply for the road closure notice, install fences, erected signs and in the case of the river a ramp to allow access and control (when the river is unsafe)

-Flashing Lane - where horses are raced on a public road within the parish of Long Marton
-The Sands - where the road is closed off to facilitate horses getting to the river and on street drinking
-The River (located on the sands in the same area as on street drinking) - where a ramp is installed to allow horses access to the river which is a focal point.

Could you confirm did Eden District Councils public liability cover these events in 2022?

If Eden District Council are not the organiser of these events & who instructs you (the organiser) to put the measures mentioned above in place, who the insurance policy holder is and that their insurance policy is in place.

As per the requirement on Cumbria County Councils website road closure notices should be submitted 4 to 6 months prior to any entertainment, sporting or social event, they also request 5 million public liability should be provided as a minimum

Can you provide copies in relation to the 2022 events of
1. Event Plan
2. Risk Assessments
3. Site Management plan.

Yours faithfully,

C.G

Dear foi,

Whilst the information you quite may be correct the same guidance also quotes that it is good practice to supply this information anyways.

There is a risk that my safety may be at risk should I disclose my full name. I note you have not provided your name, perhaps you have the same fear.

Yours sincerely,

C.G

Dear Eden District Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Eden District Council's handling of my FOI request 'Events at the 2022 Appleby Horse Fair'.
