Copeland Borough Council has now approved a Petitions Scheme
which will guarantee that our residents' concerns will
be heard by the Council.
All Petitions containing 1000 signatures or more will be
considered by Council itself. Petitions to hold a Senior Officer to
account will require 500 signatures and will be considered by an
Overview and Scrutiny Committee. Ordinary Petitions need 50
signatures and they will be considered in the way which is thought
most appropriate.

format). Alternatively you can contact our Democratic Services
Manager Tim Capper on 01946 598526 or at democraticservices@copelandbc.gov.uk
for advice.
An e-petition system will soon be available
on-line.
