Request

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Please could you inform me: 1.    Whether the council has received any formal requests or applications from council tenants to be rehoused or transferred due to alleged paranormal activities, ghosts, hauntings, or unexplained supernatural occurrences in their properties. 2.    If any such requests have been received, please state the total number of requests logged over the last 10 financial years (or from the earliest date records are available). 3.    For any requests identified, what specific policy, procedure, or actions the council took to investigate or address the tenants' concerns and rehousing applications. If it helps to narrow down the search, aggregate or statistical data without any personal or identifying tenant details will suffice.
