Halloween advice

🎃 Stay Safe This Halloween & Bonfire Night 🎆

As Halloween and Bonfire Night approach, we want everyone in our communities to enjoy the celebrations safely and considerately.

Halloween safety

Children should be accompanied or appropriately supervised when trick-or-treating.

Respect residents who do not wish to take part and avoid knocking where this has been made clear.

Be considerate of neighbours, particularly older or vulnerable residents.

Please remember that behaviour intended as a bit of fun can become frightening or intimidating to others.

Bonfire and firework safety

Fireworks must not be set off or thrown in streets or other public places.

Keep children supervised around fireworks and never give sparklers to children under five.

Keep pets safely indoors where possible.

Never return to a firework once it has been lit, even if it appears not to have gone off.

Bonfires should never be left unattended and should be positioned safely away from buildings, fences, sheds, hedges and overhanging branches.

📞 Reporting concerns

Please remember that My Community Voice is not a crime-reporting service.

➡️ Report non-urgent crime and anti-social behaviour through the Kent Police website.
➡️ You can also contact us using Live Chat on the Kent Police website.
➡️ Call 999 in an emergency, if a crime is in progress or life is in danger.

Please look out for one another, respect your neighbours and help us make Halloween and Bonfire Night enjoyable and safe for everyone.

Stay safe and enjoy the celebrations! 🎃🎆
