the boys n t door - The Braunton Neighbourhood Police Team

We are now into October and this month brings two things, even darker evenings and Halloween night on the 31st .

With the hour changing later this month it will start to get darker a lot earlier. Please check yours and your children’s bicycles for working lights. Too many cyclists are putting themselves in danger riding around without lights. It is an offence not to have working lights on your bikes while cycling during the hours of darkness Please don’t let yourself or your child become another road traffic statistic.

Halloween night or as its now commonly known as Trick or Treat is becoming more popular every year with large numbers taking part in Braunton. Most young children are escorted by an adult to keep them safe but as your children get older the pressure to let them go out on their own with friend’s increases. Please consider these safety tips to pass on to them to help keep them safe.

• Older children should let you know where they are going and when they will be back. • If possible, make sure they carry a mobile phone.

• Remind your children not to enter anyone’s house. • Make sure they can be seen and stay in well lit areas and on pavements at all times. • Carry a torch and consider road safety at all times. • Be sensible when out in a group with other teenagers. Respect homeowners who do not want to answer their door or where the No Trick or Treat sign is displayed. Warn them of the dangers they can get themselves into regarding the ‘trick’ part. Do not throw items such as eggs or flour at people houses. Tricks can go wrong, people could become aggressive, and it could end with your child being involved in a situation they can’t deal with .

The Braunton Neighbourhood Team will be patrolling the area to make sure that everyone enjoys themselves and don't act in an anti-social manner. For those taking part, Halloween is meant to be fun. Please remember this so the evening can be enjoyed by all. Thank You.
