Petitions

The Council welcomes petitions and recognises that they are one way in which people can let us know their concerns. All petitions will be handled in accordance with the Tunbridge Wells Petition Scheme. This page summarises the key elements of Scheme and provides details of any current or recent petitions.

Submit a petition

Petitions submitted to the Council must include:

• a clear and concise statement covering the subject of the petition. It should state what action the petitioners wish the Council to take;

• the name, address, email address (where available) and signature of any person supporting the petition. Supporters of the petition can be anyone who lives, works or studies in the area of the Borough Council; and

• be submitted in a paper format or be submitted through the Council's approved e-petition software.

Petitions must be accompanied by contact details of the petition organiser, who can be anyone who lives, works or studies in the area of the Borough Council. This is normally the person we will liaise with concerning the petition.
