Anyone who lives, works or studies in the City of Westminster can organise and sign a petition. This includes the under 18s.

Petitions at an Ordinary Full Council meeting

Any petition presented at an Ordinary Full Council meeting will get an oral response, on the night, from the relevant Cabinet Member or Committee Chair, followed by a written response setting out what was said at the meeting and serving as the official response.

If a petitioner does not want to present it publicly it will be sent to the relevant Cabinet Member for a written response. The procedure for hearing a petition at an Ordinary Full Council meeting can be found in the Public Participation Protocol below and in Appendix 1.
