Petitions

Do you want to support or comment on a petition online?

ePetitioner allows you to support a petition by adding your name and address online. Information about the subject is also provided, to put the petition in context and help you decide whether to sign.

You can also see who else has supported the petition (name and area only).

Do you want to use the Internet to petition the Council?

ePetitioner allows you to have your petition live on the Internet, rather than just on paper. This way, your petition and supporting information can be made available to a potentially much wider audience, giving you the opportunity to gather more names to support the petition.

A petition may gather names and addresses in both forms - you can have a paper version and an online version, although repeat names should be removed by the Principal Petitioner.
