Petitions scheme
We want everyone who lives, works or studies in West Sussex to
be able to petition the County Council. If we can, we will do what
your petition requests. If we cannot, we will explain why.
Before considering whether or not to raise a petition to the
County Council you may want to discuss your issue with your
local county councillor (member) who may
be able to help you with it or explain how to make representations
on a particular subject to the right person at the County Council
and explain whether what you want is a matter for the County
Council.
If you want to submit a petition to the County Council please
look at the Petitions scheme under Supporting documents, and then
register your petition on the ePetitioner
pages, even if you have already started a paper petition. This
will enable us to respond more quickly to your petition and, if you
wish, you can also collect signatures on-line.
If you haven’t started a petition the ePetitioner
is a quick way of setting up a petition, and if you want to print
off paper copies it provides a template for you. You can then add
the number of signatures you get on paper to the online total. When
your petition has closed, we will post a copy of our response on
these pages. You can also read the County Council’s response to
other petitions that have recently closed. The list of paper
petitions (see supporting documents) gives details of their status
and will be updated in due course to provide a summary of the final
outcome.
Our Petitions scheme sets out how the County Council will deal with
petitions and explains the different options. It also includes
contact details of officers who can provide advice about the
submission of your petition to the County Council.
