Petitions
Staffordshire County Council wants to hear from people who live, work and study in the area about the things that matter to them.
We welcome petitions which are one way for people to let us know their concerns. We will acknowledge all petitions sent or presented to the council within 10 working days of receipt. This acknowledgment will set out what we plan to do in response to the petition. We will treat something as a petition if it says it is a petition, or if it seems to us that it is meant to be one.
You can create, sign and submit a petition on-line|
or send paper petitions to:-
Duncan Whitehouse
Head of Scrutiny and Support
Member and Democratic Services
Staffordshire County Council
Wedgwood Building
Tipping Street
Stafford
ST16 2DH
or contact Duncan Whitehouse on 01785 276154 to make arrangements to hand a petition in.
Petitions can be presented to a meeting of the full council. These meetings take place at least six times a year, and you can view the dates and times of these meetings online|. If you would like to present your petition to the council, or would like your councillor or someone else to present it on your behalf, please contact Duncan Whitehouse on 01785 276154 at least 10 working days before the meeting and he will talk you through the process.
When the County Council is going to make a key decision there is often a period of public consultation beforehand - if your petition is relevant to a particular decision it helps us if you can submit it during the consultation period (if you send it in later it can make it harder for us to take it into account). You can check current consultations| or look at the County Council's forward plan of key decisions|.
