🚨 Neighbourhood Alert | Halloween Safety Advice 🎃

As Halloween approaches, we would like to remind residents to celebrate safely and be considerate of others in the community.

While many people enjoy taking part in Halloween activities, not everyone chooses to celebrate. Please respect your neighbours and local area.

Anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated. Throwing eggs, flour or other objects at people, homes or vehicles is not a harmless prank and may be treated as criminal damage.

👻 If You're Going Trick or Treating

Children should be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Only visit homes where residents are happy to receive trick-or-treaters.

Respect signs stating "No Trick or Treat."

Stay in well-lit areas and use routes you know.

Avoid shortcuts through parks, alleyways or gardens.

Take extra care near roads and traffic.

Ensure masks or costumes do not affect your vision.

Carry a torch and a fully charged mobile phone if possible.

🏠 If You're Staying at Home

Do not open your door if you are unsure who is outside.

Check through a window, spy hole or doorbell camera first.

Consider using a door chain when answering the door.

Keep contact details for a trusted friend, family member or neighbour close by.

📞 Reporting Concerns

If you witness anti-social behaviour or criminal damage, please report it to us on 101.

In an emergency, or if a crime is in progress, always call 999.

We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Halloween. Thank you for helping keep our neighbourhoods safe.
