Halloween can be a lot of fun for children and young people, but it can also be distressing and intimidating for some residents. If you are going ‘trick or treating’ please respect and consider others and follow these top tips to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable time:

DON’T

• Go alone – ‘trick or treating’ is more fun and safer if you go in a small group with friends and family.
• Go into houses – stay on the doorstep where the responsible adult can see you.
• Play pranks that may damage property – this could result in arrest and a criminal record.
• Demand money or intimidate people – Halloween can be a night that some residents dread, so be respectful and polite.

Don’t throw eggs or flour – it’s classed as a criminal offence and you can be arrested!

DO

• Take extra care crossing roads – more accidents happen to children in the dark.
• Go with an adult – get a responsible adult to go with your group to help in case you have any problems.
• Dress to be seen – wear light, reflective clothes or carry a lamp or torch so that drivers and your responsible adult can see you.
• Respect people’s rights – be polite, don’t go out too late, ring or knock only once, and be prepared to take ‘no’ for an answer.

Halloween is quickly followed by Bonfire Night. Please make sure you enjoy yourself, but remain safe and attend organised firework displays wherever you can.

The next meeting of the Town Council will take place on Thursday 15th October at 7pm in the Arncliffe Centre, Arncliffe Road.

At the Annual Meeting of the Town Council, held on Thursday 14th May 2015, Councillor Allan Harvey was installed as the new Leader of the Town Council and Mayor of Halewood for 2015-2016. During his term of office, Councillor Harvey will be suppprted during his term of office by his daughter Suzanne who will act as Mayoress.

Here, our picture shows the Mayor signing his Declaration of Acceptance at the Annual Meeting.

What a brilliant night’s Culturefest cricket, held in bright sunlight, once again at it’s spiritual home…. New Hutte Neighbourhood Centre…..were the Patron’s X1 were once more up against the Mayor’s X1.

This year the Mayor’s X1, who batted first, was entirely made up of students and staff from Halewood Academy, which very much pleased the Patron, who, in thanking Phil Rylands who captained and coached the Mayor’s X1, congratulated him in introducing some potentially fine young cricketers to the game. Special mention must be made of one young Academy student, Jack Cross, who was joint highest scorer amongst both teams with 19 runs.

The Patron’s X1, a experienced and strong side, were skilfully captained by Gerry Allen to used both his batsmen and bowlers to such good effect and who won the game and so, the Patron retained his pot!

Our pictures show the Deputy Mayor, Cllr Clare Rose and the Culturefest Patron Richard McCullagh plus a shot taken during the match and the two teams at the end of the game with the Deputy Mayor and Patron.
