Petitions which will not be reported

Where more than one petition is received in time for a particular meeting, each supporting the same outcome on one matter, each petition organiser will be treated as an independent petition organiser, but only the petition organiser of the first petition to be received will be invited to address the relevant meeting.

 

 

Where a petition will not normally be considered where they are received within 6 months of another petition being considered by the Council on the same matter.

 

 

Petitions will not be reported if in the opinion of the Petitions Officer, they are rude, offensive, defamatory, scurrilous or time wasting, or do not relate to something which is the responsibility of the authority, or over which the authority has some influence.
