Council Meetings: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I present a petition to the council?

Residents of the Royal Borough can ask a Councillor to submit a Petition to any ordinary meeting of the Council on their behalf. The Petition should contain at least 25 signatures, although a petition with fewer signatures may be acceptable if those people represent a significant proportion of people who may have a direct interest in the issue of the subject of the Petition.

If the Petition is referred to the Cabinet or to the relevant Committee the person who has submitted the Petition will be invited to attend the relevant meeting to which the Petition is referred or the future Council meeting to which it is reported, and will be invited to address that meeting for up to 5 minutes. Further details on how to present a petition are contained in the Council's Constitution - Part 4 A - Council Procedure Rules.
