Barrow Borough Council’s Petition Scheme

Barrow Borough Council welcomes petitions and recognises that petitions are one way that people can tell us about their concerns or priorities.

The council has a ‘Petition Scheme’ which you can view at the link below; http://www.barrowbc.gov.uk/PDF/Petition%20Scheme%20(Final%20Dec%202010).pdf

The ‘Petition Scheme’ has been developed in accordance with the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009, and this scheme applies to most petitions submitted to the Council. (Details about the kind of petitions it does not apply to are given at the link above).

Petitions can be created, signed and submitted either on paper or online at http://petitions.barrowbc.gov.uk/

To help ensure that your petition is accepted and published you should take time to read the petition scheme before submitting a petition.
