Halloween is now traditionally a night of fun and frolics with children dressing up as ghosts or ghouls visiting houses in their neighbourhood, saying “Trick or Treat”. Cambridgeshire police are advising parents to follow these simple guidelines to ensure a trouble free evening for all:

• Ensure children are accompanied by a responsible adult.
• Explain how vunerable people can be frightened by an unexpected group calling at their door on a dark evening.
• Only knock at houses where you know you will be welcome.
• Respect the “Please no trick or treat” notice where it is displayed.

You can download a “No Trick or Treat” poster in
