Petitions and How We Deal With Them.

|
HOW WE DEAL WITH PETITIONSProvisions in the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 set minimum standards that citizens are entitled to expect if they submit a petition. These provisions became effective from 15 June 2010 and by 15 December 2010 we were required to offer e-petitions, through an appropriate software system.
A link to the Policy on dealing with Petitions is provided below:
Petitions Scheme (PDF - 40kb),
What should a petition contain?
Full details are contained in the link above but in brief:-
- A concise statement of the petitioners concerns and what it is they want the Council to do
- The name and contact details, including an address of the petition organiser
- The names of at least 20 petitioners supporting the petition. A supporter of a petition must live, work or study in the Babergh District.
