Halloween and Bonfire Night are a time for celebration, but we all have a part to play in keeping our neighbourhoods safe and enjoyable for everyone. 

Please be considerate of people living nearby and make sure children and young people understand the dangers of setting fires, misusing fireworks, damaging property or behaving in a way that may frighten or disturb others 

Please: 

  • Be considerate of your neighbours. 
  • Bring bins in after collection day and keep them away from fences, sheds and buildings. 
  • Make sure children and young people understand the dangers of fires, fireworks and damaging property. 
  • Report any anti-social behaviour (ASB) you see. 

You can report ASB to South Liverpool Homes using our online reporting form, by calling 0330 303 3000 or emailing [email protected]. 

You can also report fire setting, vandalism or nuisance behaviour to Merseyside Police on 101. In an emergency, always call 999.
