🎃👻 The big day is just a sleep away! 👻🎃

Got your pumpkin ready for Halloween? Don't forget that once the spooky season is over, your pumpkin can still be a treat... for your hungry food waste caddy! 😋🧡

When your jack-o'-lantern starts looking a little more frightening than festive, simply remove any candles, paint or decorations and pop it into your food waste caddy. It can then be turned into compost and renewable energy.

🚫 Please don't leave pumpkins in the countryside.
✅ Feed them to your food waste caddy instead!

Let's make this Halloween a little greener while keeping Uttlesford looking spook-tacular. ♻️✨

👮‍♂️ Protecting Uttlesford's rural communities together

The Uttlesford Community Safety Partnership continues to work together to tackle hare coursing and keep our rural communities safe. Bringing together Uttlesford District Council, Essex Police, Essex Probation, Essex Fire and Rescue Service, and the Uttlesford Community Action Network (UCAN), the partnership is committed to making Uttlesford and Essex a hostile environment for those involved in rural crime.

Hare coursing causes serious damage to farmland and wildlife and creates fear and distress for people living and working in the countryside. Through a coordinated approach, partners are working to prevent offending, support communities, and take action against those responsible.

Essex Police continue to invest in specialist training, drones, thermal imaging binoculars, enhanced off-road capabilities with two new 4x4 vehicles in Uttlesford, and support from NPAS. Cross-border work through helps target offenders, seize vehicles and dogs where appropriate, and disrupt criminal activity.

🐾 If you spot hare coursing, here's what to do:
• Report every incident. If it's happening now, call 999. If it has already happened, report online or via 101.
• Say "hare coursing" clearly early in the call so it is prioritised correctly.
• Give an exact location using What3Words, GPS coordinates, road names, landmarks or access points.
• Provide timings and details of any vehicles, people or dogs involved.
• Take photos or video only if it is safe to do so.
• Never approach offenders or put yourself at risk.
• Share information safely through local networks such as Farm Watch and the NFU.

See it. Report it. Stop it. Together, we can help protect Uttlesford's countryside and bring an end to hare coursing.
