Agenda item

The Committee were provided with details of the Annual Petitions Report 2015/16. For the period 1 May 2015 to 31 March 2016, a total of 16 petitions were received – 9 paper petitions and 7 e-petitions.

A Member commented that the current e-petition system was not user friendly and that a number of individuals had had difficulties in both accessing and navigating around the system. It was noted that the current system was one which a number of Local Authorities used and that the comments would be fed back to the system providers. The Chief Executive informed the meeting that the Council’s website was currently being reviewed with a view to making it more user friendly.

Resolved – That details of the Annual Petitions Report 2015/16 be noted.
