A recent vehicle inspection campaign in Figueres during the Fires de la Santa Creu has prompted a local resident to question the safety of fairground attractions. According to a letter published in Diari de Girona, most vehicles checked by Figueres City Council did not display the mandatory ITV (vehicle technical inspection) sticker.
The author of the letter highlighted that the absence of these inspection stickers on a large number of vehicles suggests a widespread lack of compliance with basic road safety regulations. This observation has led to broader concerns about the effectiveness of municipal controls.
Fairground Safety Under Scrutiny
The situation has caused the letter's author to wonder if the fairground attractions, which also require regular safety inspections, are in any better condition. The letter directly challenges the thoroughness of the controls carried out by the City Council, casting doubt on the safety of both the vehicles and the rides present at the fair.
The Fires de la Santa Creu is a significant annual event in Figueres, drawing many visitors. The safety of its attractions and associated transport is critical for public confidence. The City Council has not yet issued a public response to the concerns raised in the letter.
