PCs and PCSOs have had a spooktacular time at the Halloween Trick or Treat trail this evening.
We loved seeing everyone all dressed up for the event.
Our spooky sweets were kindly donated by Derbyshire Neighbourhood Watch and Dr Fatima Elzahra Eltinay Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner.

Today is the final day of the Charter Fair.

Our Officers have thankfully dried out from last nights challenging weather conditions.

It was great to see that it took more than a splash of wind and rain to stop the people of Ilson enjoying a Saturday night up town.

Todays opening times are from 1pm until 8pm, with a no lights and sounds session between 1pm and 3pm.

Just a reminder to keep an eye on your possessions - we have had a number of mobile phones and bank cards handed in to us that have been lost on the rides.

Should you lose any property please get in touch with Erewash Borough Council who will be keeping it safe.

Thanks to off duty officer PC Shelton who supplied todays photo.

If you are heading to the fair today make sure you are dressed appropriately for the weather.

It will be a busy evening with lots of people about so please ensure you keep and eye on little ones at all times - its easy for them to become distracted by the lights and separated from family members.

The rides can be slippery, so please do take care getting on and off the rides.

Most of all enjoy your evening, and please do say high to our officers if you see us out and about.

Going to the fair with your mates?

There’s no shame in setting boundaries around what you’re comfortable with. Peer pressure can be scary and upsetting, and we want everyone to enjoy the fair safely.

Follow this advice to make sure everyone in your group is having a nice time.:-

• Peer pressure - you never have to drink or take drugs just because your friends are doing it or they ask you to do it.
• No is a complete sentence. If you don't want to go on a ride you don't have justify your reason.
• Look after your friends, if they are struggling, frightened or unwell, don't leave them on their own. Find help.
• Trust your instincts - if something doesn't feel right, leave, stay with your friends and get help.

And finally, remember you can always call home if you need too. There is no shame in asking for support if you're unsure.

Is your child heading to the fair with their friends for the first time? Complete our parent/child checklist together to help keep them safe:

✔️ Do you know who they’re going out with?
✔️ Have you agreed a time when they’ll be home?
✔️ Is there a plan for how they’re getting home?
✔️ Is their phone fully charged?
✔️ Do they remember important phone numbers?

Having open and honest conversations with young people can help build trust between parents/guardians and their children.

Establishing these boundaries means that you are aware of what your children are up to, and young people know you are there for support.

It's almost time for Ilkeston fair, and it's a good idea to have a conversation with your child about...
• Peer pressure - you never have to drink or take drugs just because your friends are doing it or they ask you to do it.
• No is a complete sentence. If you don't want to go on a ride you don't have justify your reason.
• Look after your friends, if they are struggling, frightened or unwell, don't leave them on their own. Find help.
• Trust your instincts - if something doesn't feel right, leave, stay with your friends and get help.
• and finally, remind them that you will always pick up the phone if they need you. There is no shame in asking for support if they’re unsure.
We want the fair to be a safe environment for everyone attending. Help keep your community safe by sharing this advice with your children.
