Happy Halloween

Dear Resident

Happy Halloween! We hope everyone has a spooktacular time. 

You can expect to see your local neighbourhood officers out in force in the local area, keeping people safe and to deter anti-social behaviour. If you witnesses ASB please contact the Police on the non emergency number 101. 

Please enjoy responsibly and be mindful of those who may not be celebrating.

We ask that you please consider the following advice over this period:

Children should never go trick or treating alone and always take an adult with them.

Don’t knock on the doors of strangers, unless there are signs that callers are welcome, such as Halloween decorations and police ‘Trick or Treaters Welcome’ posters in the window.

Keep your Halloween ‘tricks’ safe – damaging property, hurting people, using threatening behaviour or abusive language are all crimes.

Remember road safety advice, particularly after dark.

Setting off fireworks in public areas is illegal.

If you are planning a private firework party, remember it is illegal to set off fireworks after 11pm, except on Bonfire Night when this is extended until midnight.
