1. Set up a Halloween Group for your street! Plan your Halloween evening with your neighbours to see what time everyone is taking the kids out. You could even co-ordinate matching costumes!
2. Download one of our SPOOKY Neighbourly Halloween posters to stick on your house or letterbox for if:
- You welcome all trick or treaters
- You want trick or treaters to stay away
3. Stay in areas of your neighbourhood that are familiar and are well lit. And although Halloween is supposed to be spooky, be careful not to frighten your elderly neighbours by popping out of the dark!
Stay safe and have fun!

They have sounded as if I know them but when I open them they are from dating sites that I do not use or ever have used. They sound familiar with my surroundings and I assume they have gotten this information off neighbourly. Just letting people know that not all sites have good security and I for one will be deleting this site tomorrow. Just getting my message out there.
