SPOOKY GOINGS ON

Halloween in Pendleton promises to be a bit brighter this year thanks to support from the community. On Tuesday 30 October from 11.00am, Salix Homes are teaming up with Youth Services, Community Payback and local volunteers to clean up Brydon Close and plant winter bulbs. Free hotdogs will be given to those that volunteer. A Halloween event will take place from 2.30pm, when the hard work has been completed. The event is open to the whole community and will include pumpkin carving, spooky arts and crafts as well free winter warming food. Young people can have their faces painted in scary styles before a fancy dress competition. Ward Councillor, John Warmisham said: “This event has been organised to pull the whole community together and make a positive difference in the area. The interest we have had from residents has been overwhelming. It promises to be a fun day, particularly for young people, who will be able to get involved in lots of themed activities in a safe environment.”
