I’ve lived in Colchester for 12 years approx. and we have never had any real bother with people “trick or treating” (touch wood). It is really good if it is a group of kids supervised by their parents all acting responsibly and having a bit of fun, but I don’t like it too much when it is a group of teenagers who want money instead of sweets (although this has only happened on a couple of occasions).
I would imagine it might be quite scary for elderly people or people home alone so it is important that everyone remembers that it is quite easy to intimidate and scare people when they are out and about knocking on doors – if someone doesn’t answer, move on to the next house not everyone wants to play 
Last year no one knocked on the door at all – so perhaps people are not trick or treating as much as they did these days?
