Petitions Scheme - Publications Demo Content - Principles

2.1 The Council welcomes petitions, in paper form (see the form at the end of this document) or submitted via e-mail or through our e-petitions onlinefacility. 

2.2 We will treat something as a petition if it is identified as being a petition, or if it seems to us that it is intended to be a petition. Valid petitions, whether received by post, by hand, by e-mail or submitted in person or via our e-petitions online facility, will be accepted in accordance with this Scheme.

2.3 A petition can be open for signature up to a maximum of 90 days, unless an extension is agreed with the petition organiser; most will be responded tomuch sooner.
