Petitions
The council seeks to provide excellent services and in so doing welcomes feedback from its residents. One way for residents to voice their concerns is by submitting a petition. Petitions can be posted, faxed or be an e-petition.
What is a petition?
A petition is a written request from five or more people which asks the Council to take or not to take a specific action. Petitions can be submitted and signed by anybody who works, lives or studies in Brent. A petition must relate to matters affecting the borough and on which the council or one of its partners can make a decision.
Guidance on submitting petitions
Paper petitions
The Council welcomes paper petitions.You can also have one petition in both a paper and an online version at the same time, although people should only sign one version. Paper petitions can be sent to the address at the bottom of this page. A printable template which you can use for your paper petition can be found by going to: Printable template for petitions
E-petitions
An e-petition is a petition which collects signatures online. This allows the petition and its supporting information to potentially reach a much wider audience than a traditional paper petition.
