Acting on Community Concerns Next month is Halloween 🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻 Not everyone enjoys or wants to take part in Halloween. Addressing any anti-social behaviour, concerns that come with this, we are giving advice not only to residents in our community but also shops and retailers who can assist us in reducing any behaviour linked to this time of year. If you'd prefer not have trick or treaters call at your door, you can download and display our 'no trick or treat' sign in your front door or window. It's a simple way to let others know you're not taking part. If you're taking young children out, Halloween can be a fun experience for children, and a few precautions can keep it safe: children should be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times it's best to visit homes of people you know if a house doesn't have decorations or a pumpkin outside, it's likely they're not participating, so it's best not to knock
If you have teenagers going out, Older children may want more independence, but it's important they understand how to celebrate respectfully: avoid knocking at homes without decorations or pumpkins outside do not use alcohol or play a trick on someone using flour or eggs if a 'no trick or treat' sign is displayed, they should move on without knocking encourage them to stay in groups and never go into a stranger's home remind them that Halloween is meant to be fun, not frightening for others Let's work together to make Halloween safe, respectful, and enjoyable for everyone, whether they're celebrating or not. Need help? Please only call 999 in an emergency. You can report a non-urgent incident or crime online Alternatively, you can visit our advice pages for information and guidance on a range of issues. | ||
