This launch is in accordance with the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 which placed a duty on Councils to respond to petitions and have in place a Petitions Scheme by 15 June 2010 and an on-line petition facility by 15 December 2010.
An e-petition is a form of petition created using the council’s e-petition system. Individuals or groups can create a petition on the council’s website and visitors to the website can add their details to the petition to "sign" it providing they live, work or study in Cornwall.
