Whether you're hitting the street to trick or treat, or staying inside with the the candy bowl by your side - here's some Neighbourly Halloween tips to ensure that this Tuesday is a fun and safe experience for you and your neighbours!

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!

Take the hassle out of planning for an emergency

The Team from Marlborough District Council

Phew! We've just had national Get Ready week, Mental Health Awareness week and the last week of school holidays! I bet some children (and parents) are wondering where the time has gone! Life’s a bit like that; often the things we plan to do just kind of disappear in our busy lives.

Phew! We've just had national Get Ready week, Mental Health Awareness week and the last week of school holidays! I bet some children (and parents) are wondering where the time has gone! Life’s a bit like that; often the things we plan to do just kind of disappear in our busy lives.

Planning for an emergency isn’t much different. Trying to get everything done all at once can sometimes seem overwhelming. So, how about breaking it down step-by-step? Start with developing a household plan. On the weekend, look at making your home safer. Start saving large plastic drink bottles (not milk bottles) and store some water. Spread the cost by buying a few extra items each week for your household emergency kit (such as canned food, torch batteries).

And most importantly, keep on building those links with your neighbours – they’re your first source of support in an emergency. And if you’d like to know more – just ask me.
