All petitions sent or presented to the Council will receive an
acknowledgement within seven working days of receipt and within
fourteen working days you will be advised how your petition will be
processed.
The e-petition organiser must provide
- his/her name, postal address and e-mail address
- a time frame for how long the e-petition should be open for
signatures.
To ‘sign’ an e-petition
Signatories will be asked to provide their name, postcode and
e-mail address. When this information is submitted, an e-mail
will be generated to the e-mail address provided. This will
include a link that must be clicked on in order to confirm that the
e-mail address is valid.
Once this step is complete, the ‘signature’ will be added to the
petition. People visiting the e-petition will be able to see
the names of those who have signed it but not any contact
details.
