The most generous streets in Merseyside to take your kids trick or treating

Halloween is coming on and three Merseyside areas have been named as the most generous for trick or treaters.

Many parents this week will be planning on taking their little ones out in the hope of catching a seasonal haul at the doors of their neighbours but some areas are better than others for the activity.

Social media network, Nextdoor have found that some areas in the region are better than others, highlighting that three in particular have come out on top.

Based in the heart of North Liverpool, Stalisfield Avenue in Norris Green is reportedly the best place for trick or treaters with more neighbours than anywhere else willing to get involved with the door knocks.

Close behind was neighbourhoods in West Huyton , with Roby coming in as the third best place in Merseyside to pick up a treat.

The Treat Map compiled by the company shows parents where to head if they are taking the kids out.

Nextdoor can also be used to make your neighbours aware of whether you are welcoming knocks from Halloween visitors.

Users can log on and mark whether your house is accepting while also making it easier, if you are planning a trick or treating session with your family, to know which houses in your area are happy to get involved.

If you are heading out trick or treating this year, or expecting knocks at the door, it is important to be aware that some people have certain needs will also be among those in your neighbourhood.

Teal pumpkins may also be visible across Liverpool this Halloween due to another campaign which started in America in 2016.

The Teal Pumpkin Project is an awareness campaign from Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) and aims to make sure children with food allergies or other dietary restrictions can also enjoy trick or treating.

The pumpkin, if put outside your home, is a clear sign to parents and children that there are non-food treats available.
