When you create an e-petition, it may take five working days before it is published online.  This is because we have to check that the content of your e-petition is suitable before it is made available for signature. If we feel we cannot publish your e-petition for some reason, we will contact you within this time to explain.

You will be able to change and resubmit your e-petition if you wish. If you do not do this within 10 working days, a summary of the e-petition and the reason why it has not been accepted will be published under the 'rejected e-petitions' section of the website.

Please note: We can no longer accept petitions with less than 10 signatures.  We aim to respond to petitions within 6-weeks.

What must my petition include?

Petitions to us must include:

• the address and contact details for the petition organiser,
• a clear and concise statement about what the petition is for and what action the petitioners want us to take (or stop taking),
• the name, address and signature of any valid Staffordshire signatory supporting the petition.

If the petition does not name a petition organiser, we will contact signatories to the petition to agree who should act as the petition organiser. Please tell us if the petition has been sent to anyone else as well as ourselves.

Please note: Petitions which we consider to be abusive or inappropriate will not be accepted.
