Petitions

The council welcomes petitions and recognises that petitions are one way in which people can let us know their concerns. All petitions sent or presented to the council will receive an acknowledgement from the council within 10 clear working days of receipt. This acknowledgement will set out what we plan to do with the petition.

If you live, work or study in Southwark you can create or sign an e-petition. E-petitions allow you to support a petition by signing with an email address. View the e-petitions currently available to sign.

Petitions can also be presented to some meetings of council assembly, to cabinet, to other council committees and to community councils. The meetings at which petitions can be presented take place four times a year. View the dates and times of the meetings at which petitions can be presented.
