‘Welcome to Hell’ – Homes set to welcome Trick and Treaters

A host of homes have been getting in the spirit of Halloween in South Holland.

Jamie Knight in Cathedral Drive, Spalding is once again raising money for the charity Hope For Tomorrow.

The charity provides cancer treatments in vans that head to various towns, including Spalding, ensuring patients don’t have to travel further afield for it.

Last year they raised around £300.

Anyone who pops to ‘Welcome To Hell’ with its theme this year of a a ghastly wedding is asked to make a donation to the charity.

“We’re hoping for good weather and a decent turn out,” said Jamie who will be joined in the fundraising by wife Tracey, El Wooding and nearly one-year-old Arlo Parkinson alongside Jess Parkinson and Callum Ward.

Meanwhile at 30 Surfleet Road in Surfleet, Joe Chapman and his partner Anna Lucyna have gone to town in designing their home.

“It’s just a bit of fun for the kids,” said Joe. “It brings a smile to faces.”

“We’ve already had lots of people stopping to take pictures and look at the display,” added Anna.

LIncolnshire Police are urging everyone to have a great time, but warning them to be mindful of those who don’t take part.

A special poster has been created which can be downloaded from the police’s website (www.lincs.police.uk under the campaigns tab) which asks for no trick or treaters to knock.

“We are also encouraging parents and guardians to explain what it means to children so that elderly members of the community or vulnerable people are not frightened by unwanted callers,” said a spokesman.

The poster is being offered as part of the force’s Operation Cauldron which is being run jointly with Linconlshire’s FIre and Rescue teams.

The operation is designed to prevent problems arising while providing reassurance and promoting safety around both Halloween and Bonfire Night.

“We’d also like to remind people to follow the law and safety advice when it comes to using fireworks.

They can be seized if they are not being used responsibly.”
