Autumn Safety, Halloween Advice & Bonfire Night Safety Message

🍂🎃 Autumn, Halloween & Bonfire Night Safety Message 🎃🍂

As the evenings become darker and Halloween and Bonfire Night approach, your local Safer Neighbourhood Team would like to share some seasonal safety advice to help keep everyone safe.

🎇 Fireworks & Pets

Fireworks can be distressing for pets and other animals.

Keep pets indoors where possible, close curtains and windows, and ensure they are microchipped and wearing identification tags.

👵 Looking Out for Elderly and Vulnerable Neighbours

Shorter daylight hours and colder weather can make elderly and vulnerable residents feel more isolated or anxious.

Please check on neighbours, family members and friends who may need extra support.

Be vigilant for rogue traders, doorstep scams and distraction burglaries, which can target older residents.

🏠 Home & Personal Safety

Ensure doors and windows are locked, especially during the darker evenings.

Use outdoor lighting where possible and keep valuables out of sight.

When walking after dark, stay in well-lit areas and remain aware of your surroundings.

🎃 Halloween & Anti-Social Behaviour

Halloween can be an enjoyable time for families, but there can also be an increase in anti-social behaviour, nuisance, criminal damage and misuse of fireworks.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to supervise children and promote respectful behaviour towards neighbours and property.

👮 Increased Patrols

Your local Safer Neighbourhood Team will continue to carry out targeted patrols across the area to provide reassurance and address any issues affecting the community.

📞 Reporting Concerns

Report non-emergency incidents via 101 or online.

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

Together, we can help make Halloween and Bonfire Night safe and enjoyable for everyone in our community.

🍁 Have a safe autumn and look out for one another. 🍁
