As autumn settles in, the excitement for Halloween and Bonfire Night starts to build. While these events are lots of fun, they can also bring some challenges when it comes to keeping homes and neighborhoods safe. Whether you're planning a night of trick-or-treating, enjoying fireworks, or just want a peaceful evening at home, we've put together some simple tips to help you stay safe and stress-free. Remember, the clocks go back at 2am on Sunday 27th October so it will be darker earlier too.
Mischief Night on the 30th October sees some young people taking part in normally harmless pranks or tricks. Activities might include doorbell ringing, throwing eggs, or minor acts of vandalism. This can sometimes lead to anti-social behavior, so communities are encouraged to stay vigilant and take steps to protect their homes during this time:
Don’t set off noisy fireworks late at night and never after 11pm
Organised fireworks displays are more fun and safer than hosting your own fireworks or bonfire party.
However, if you are planning on using fireworks for a private event please familiarise yourself with the Fireworks Safety Code to ensure you keep everyone safe.
If you need to report an emergency repair, we have an out of hours phoneline that is available 24/7 on 0800 169 2988.
