Advice from our Neighbourhood Police team:

As Halloween approaches, many children and families will be enjoying trick or treating in their local communities. However, we understand that not everyone wishes to take part.

🎃 If you do not wish to receive trick or treat callers:
• Consider keeping outdoor lights switched off.
• Close curtains or blinds during the evening.
• Display a polite notice on your door stating “No Trick or Treaters Please” or use our pre made poster attached below.
• Do not feel obliged to answer the door if you are not expecting visitors.

👻 For those taking part:
• Only visit houses that are clearly welcoming trick or treaters, for example those with Halloween decorations or pumpkins displayed.
• Respect residents' wishes if a property displays a "No Trick or Treat" sign or appears not to be participating.
• Parents and guardians should ensure children are supervised where appropriate and remain respectful to residents and property.

🚔 Police Advice Halloween should be an enjoyable and safe event for everyone. Residents are reminded that while most trick or treating is good-natured fun, behaviour that causes alarm, distress, damage to property, or anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated. Please be considerate of your neighbours and respect those who choose not to take part.

By showing kindness and respect for one another, we can help ensure Halloween remains a safe and enjoyable occasion for the whole community.
Thank you for your support. 🎃👻🚔

Remembering together in East Hunsbury

We’ve been busy installing our poppy displays for Remembrance, and our big poppy is back outside Hunsbury Library for all to see.

This year, we’ve also created a space at the Remembrance bench in Penvale Park where residents are welcome to lay their own crosses. Local schools and community groups will be placing their crosses here over the coming weeks.

We have some remembrance crosses available at the Parish Office. If you would like one, just drop in or pop us an email.

Please join us for East Hunsbury Remembers at Grangewood Park on Sunday 8th November at 10.45am. This short, non-religious service offers an opportunity for our community to come together, reflect and remember.

Everyone is welcome.

Lest we forget.

📣 Help shape diabetes and obesity research in Northamptonshire

The research team at Kettering General Hospital is inviting local adults aged 18+ to join a Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) group. Your experiences, views and priorities could help guide future research and improve local services.

They would particularly like to hear from:

• People living with diabetes or obesity
• Young adults with type 2 diabetes
• Carers, family members and supporters

💬 Get involved through occasional meetings online or in person, sharing your experiences and giving feedback. Members will be paid for their time and contributions, with reasonable travel expenses reimbursed.

Joining the group means helping to shape research — it does not mean taking part in a research study.

👉 Interested? Scan the QR code on the leaflet or register here:

📧 For questions or help accessing the form, email [email protected]

Please share with anyone who may be interested. Local voices can make a difference!
