E-petitions - take part in local democracy

We welcome petitions and recognise that they are an important way for people to tell us their concerns.

Residents in Kent can submit traditional paper petitions or use our website to create e-petitions. E-petitions can be used to collect signatures online and can reach a much wider audience than the paper alternative.
