We have now reached that time of year again when fancy dress costumes make an appearance and children get excited about going
out trick or treating.
However
not everyone wishes to be disturbed during Halloween so please find
attached a copy
of the “Sorry no trick or treat” poster which can be printed off and
displayed in your window. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1P5DEqM5L8YRi1GRHF3UzZKQ294UHJQa0w1bE9OdnVLODY0/view?usp=sharing
This will let those people who are out and
about taking part in the festivities, know that you do not wish to be
disturbed.
Also will you be taking your child/children out trick or treating or going out to a Bonfire
Event?
If so, we would also like to offer the following crime prevention advice. By following this
simple advice you could prevent yourself from becoming a victim of crime.
Don’t
make your home a target for a burglar. An opportunist thief will know
that people will
be out and about leaving their homes empty. Make it look like you have
somebody at home, ensure that all windows and doors are locked, leave
some lights on and NEVER leave valuables on display.
If you are driving, then make sure that you don't leave anything on display when you leave your
vehicle. A thief will be looking for more than just sweets and chocolate on Halloween.
Lastly, make sure your children are safe and be aware that there will be a number of people
out and about between the peak hours of 1600hrs and 2000hrs and remind them of the following safety points:
- Only go to houses where they or their friends know the residents.
- Don’t talk to Strangers or enter any houses.
- Don’t knock on doors where there is a sign saying no trick or treat here.
- Take a torch and always stay in areas that are well lit.
- Stay with friends in a group and or with an adult.
- Be careful crossing the road
