Petition the council

Petitions offer you the chance to shape your area and influence decisions.

So, if you feel passionately about a local issue, petitioning the council is one way to make your voice heard.

You can do this by creating an e-petition or paper petition - or you may decide to do both.

We will accept and publish all petitions, as long as they comply with our terms and conditions.
