Halloween is approaching and it was the topic of discussion earlier this week by West Pittston Borough Council. Members of the community asked council to close off several streets which are very popular with trick or treaters in the community. Residents said they are trying to be proactive so it is safe for all those who take part. Council denied the request saying street closure for events require insurance purchased by the group holding the event. The discussion is expected to continue as both sides work to come to a solution.
