You can raise or support a petition if you live, work or study in Bolton.
Paper petitions
Paper petitions can be handed to the Mayor at any council meeting. The relevant executive cabinet member will receive a report if there are 100 or more signatures.
If your petition contains 2,500 or more signatures it will normally be debated by the council if deemed appropriate.
The Borough Solicitor is authorised to reject petitions which she considers to be vexatious, abusive, inappropriate or exempted under the petition scheme.
