Petitions

Other ways of making your views known

Petitions are not the only, or necessarily the quickest way to resolve an issue or make your views known. You can also:

  • check with us to see if the action is already being taken in connection to your concerns and to determine if the council is the most appropriate organisation to receive your petition
  • contact your ward councillor/s
  • if living in a place with a parish or town council, request that they raise the issue with the council on your behalf
  • contact a local community association or tenants and residents’ group and request that they raise the issue with the council on your behalf
