Petition Scheme Additional Information
1. Petitions
The Council welcomes petitions and recognises that petitions are one way in which people can let us know their concerns. Any petition containing a minimum of 10 signatures, presented in hard copy format to the Council, will receive an acknowledgement from the Council within 10 working days of receipt and will include details of the timescale for the matter to be determined or considered further by the Council.
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. A petition should however contain a clear statement of the persons concerns and what the person wants the authority to do.
Petitions can be submitted electronically using the Council's e-petition scheme or via a paper petition.
The Council will only accept e-petitions that are created and submitted through our website.
Paper petitions can be sent to:
Head of Democratic Services
Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council
Dunedin House
Columbia Drive
Stockton-on-Tees
