Petitions

Submit or view online petitions

The council welcomes petitions and recognises that they are one way people can let us know about their concerns.

Petitions can be submitted to the council in two ways: either by paper or online. The petition should include a clear and concise statement covering the subject of the petition and what actions the petitioners wish the council to take.

Further information can be found in the petition scheme (PDF 227kB) included in the council's constitution or by contacting Democratic Services.

The register of petitions

The register of petitions shows those petitions which have been received by Watford Borough Council for consideration by Council, Cabinet or other committees. 

Further information about the petition can be found in the minutes of the meeting when it was considered. Links have been provided in the table to the relevant page on the website.

Petitions submitted in respect of planning applications or licensing applications are not included in this register.
