Petitions

Craven District Council 's Petitions' Scheme - We welcome petitions and recognise that they are one way in which people can let us know their concerns.  Anyone who lives, works or studies within the Craven District, including people under 18, can sign or organise a petition and trigger a response.  All petitions sent or presented to the Council will receive an acknowledgement within 10 working days of receipt, which will include what we plan to do with the petition.

Paper petitions of any size can be sent to:

Strategic Manager for Legal and Democratic Services, Craven District Council, 1 Belle Vue Square, Broughton Road, SKIPTON .BD23 IFJ

As an alternative, petitions can be created, signed and submitted online by following this link.  These are referred to as an e-petitions. 

Both e-petitons and paper petitions can be presented to a Council Meeting and these take place around six times per year.  You can present your petition to the Council or you might ask your councillor to present it on your behalf.  Please contact Democratic Services on committees@cravendc.gov.uk or 01756 706236 at least 5 working days before the meeting and they will talk you through the process.
