How to create a petition
To create a petition we recommend you either use our online petition system, or use a freely petition service of your choice such as change.org.
If you use our petition system your petition will automatically be loaded onto our website.
You can also use our petition system to petition against specific decisions the council is set to make.
If the petition is about something a different council or organisation is responsible for, we will not display the petition on our website.
Petition publication
If you use a petition system such as change.org, or do a paper petition, you will have to let us know the details of your petition so that we can publish it online.
If you would like us to promote your petition on our website, please send us a link to your petition as well as any other relevant details to governance-admin@lichfielddc.gov.uk
After we've received your petition, we will check that it complies with our terms and conditions. We try to do this as quickly as possible, but in some cases it could take up to ten working days.
Once we have checked the petition, we will email you to let you know if it has been approved or rejected. If approved, we will publish the petition online within five working days.
If for any reason we cannot accept your petition, we will contact you to explain why. You may edit and resubmit the petition to comply with our terms, should you want to.
