Petitions Manager : The Complete e-Petitions Solution

e-petitioning is a statutory requirement: The Local Democracy Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 became law on the 12th November 2009 in which it states;

' A principal local authority must provide a facility for making petitions in electronic form to the authority.'
' A principal local authority must give reasons for not granting a request to use the facility provided by it under this section for the making of a petition'

Many Local Authorities are already implementing e-petitions solutions that are easy to access by the public and cost effective to administer.
