Current petitions
This page provides access to paper and e-Petitions presented to the Council.
The Council welcomes petitions and recognises that they are one way in which people can let us know their concerns. The Council accepts both paper and e-Petitions.
Paper petitions are those prepared in the traditional way: a petition organiser creates a paper document that includes a proposed action. Residents physically write their name, address and signature on this document to show their support of the proposed action.
To help you organise a paper petition, the Council has prepared a template that organisers can download, edit and print. The template can be downloaded from the Council's website.
e-Petitions are created, signed, and submitted entirely online. The petition organiser uses the Council’s website to create their petition and residents can electronically add their name via the website to show their support of the action the petition organiser proposes.
You can use this website facility to start an e-petition to the Council.To start, click the ‘Submit a new petition’ link below.
e-Petitions created through third party websites may be accepted by the Council, but only those signatures which fulfil the Council’s criteria will be counted for the purposes of determining the total number of signatures. This means that signatories who do not evidence that they live, work or study in Tower Hamlets may not be included in the total. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that e-petitions to the Council are created using this website.
Anyone who lives, works or studies in Tower Hamlets can submit or sign a petition. Petitions can relate to any issue for which the Council has responsibility or that affects the borough and should include a clear and specific action that petitioners want the Council to take. More detailed guidance on creating and submitting petitions can be found in the Petitions Scheme which is available on the Council’s website
