The Public Participation Schemes
In order to make the decision making process more transparent
and enable the public to become more involved, the Council has
revised its Public Participation Schemes. These schemes allow the
public to attend most meetings of the Council (see scheme
for further setails) to ask questions, make comments or present a
deputation or petition.

Scheme, and for frequently asked questions, please click on the

New Petitions Scheme
Legislation came into force on 15 June 2010 which enables the
public to draw attention to local issues through the use of
petitions. The aim behind this legislation is to promote the
involvement of communities in the democratic process, with the
chance to hold decision-makers to account.
Information on the Council's petitions scheme, including how to
submit a petition, can be found from the link below
