AS HALLOWEEN and firework night approaches The Bexley Community Safety Partnership encourages people to be safe and considerate.

Bexley Council, police and the fire service are putting plans in place to make sure celebrations go smoothly and safely.

Bexley's cabinet member responsible for community safety, Councillor Katie Perrior, said: "Our 'Be Safe, be considerate' campaign is about reminding our younger residents that not everyone enjoys this time of year.

"Not only do we want them to keep safe, but we want our vulnerable residents to feel safe too."

Welling Rotary Club is putting on its firework display in Danson Park on November 3.

A 'no trick or treat' leaflet can be displayed in the window by people who do not want trick or treaters at their door.
