Submitting a petition
Paper petitions
Must be sent to North Northamptonshire Council, Democratic Services, Corby Cube, George Street, Corby, NN17 1QG.
E-petitions
Can be created, signed and submitted online via ‘Guidance for e-petitions’.
In addition to submitting a hard copy petition or an e-petition you may also verbally present your petition at a relevant scrutiny committee meeting of the council. Meetings dates and times are published on our website. Where a petition is presented the normal process is that the text of the petition is read out to the meeting following which, without any debate on the issues (unless the petition reaches the threshold for calling an officer to account, or a debate at full council), the committee will then request that the relevant officer prepare a formal written response to the petition.
If you would like to present your petition to a council meeting please contact [email protected] at least 10 working days before the date of the meeting and they will talk you through the process.
