Petitions Scheme

The Council operates a Scheme which enables members of the public to become involved in the democratic process by submitting petitions to raise awareness of concerns which are important to them and which the Council is able to influence.  Depending on the number of signatures on a petition, they automatically trigger further action by the Council.

Information on how the Scheme works can be found by clicking on the following link:-

E-petitions

In addition, from 15 December 2010, the Council will be able to host petitions electonically, which will allow a petitioner to have their petition available on the Internet for signing.  We are able to do this by using a link to an e-petitions facility shared with Eden District Council.  This is a short-term facility pending South Lakeland District Council procuring its own e-petitions facility.  The following link will take you to the appropriate page:-
