Trick-or-treat posters help elderly residents feel safe

A special poster has been produced to help elderly and vulnerable members of the Stone community stop trick-or-treaters knocking at their doors over Halloween.

For many youngsters, trick or treating has become an annual ritual. Every Halloween, children can be seen around the town knocking on doors, asking for sweets and treats. While some people don’t mind it, others – particularly our elderly residents – do not welcome the intrusion.

Staffordshire County Council and Staffordshire Police have created a downloadable/printable poster for anyone who does not want to answer the door to a gaggle of mummies, witches and Draculas. If you want a poster, or you know someone who would, you can download one here
