Leicester City council have been forced to admit that they "currently have no plans of what to do in the event of a zombie invasion." A strange individual, thought to be Robert Ainsley, asked the council under the Freedom of Information Act, what their plans were in the event of a Dawn of the dead-style invasion.

Lynn Wyeth, the council's head of information governance, said: "We've had a few wacky ones before but this one did make us laugh. She then added "To you it might seem frivolous and a waste of time, but to different people it actually means something."

Thank god I don't live in Leicester, that's all I can say.
