For a happy and safe Halloween - please follow these simple advice tips for a trouble free evening ... Young people should never go trick or treating alone, adults should always accompany them.Children should only visit the homes of people they know, don't knock on strangers' doors and never enter a stranger's house.For older children, set a time for them to trick or treat and plan a route so you know where they'll be.Keep to well-lit areas and never take short cuts through alleyways or out of the way places. Remember road safety, wear bright or reflective clothing and carry a torch.Unless pre-arranged, children shouldn't visit elderly and vulnerable members of the community as it may frighten them. If they see a 'no trick or treat' sign tell them to respect it and move on.Don't throw flour and eggs - it can cause damage and misery. Keep tricks within the law - anything that results in damage is an offence and will be dealt with as such. To report anti-social behaviour, call 101, the 24-hour Metropolitan Police Service non-emergency number, or visit our website www.met.police.uk. If you feel in immediate danger or in an emergency, call 999.
