I am a great believer in residents putting pressure on the Council by way of petitions. This is the reason I am happy to present residents petitions, to the Council.
In theory it should mean that a Council department or other agency gets to know of residents concerns and looks into them. What is happening however in certain cases (those like me who are not in the Party in control on the Council) are having to wait longer and longer for a reply.
Those is charge of the Council need to realise, it is not only those Councillors in opposition and who are presenting petitions, who are getting frustrated with the delays, but those those residents who sign or compile names for petitions , in good faith.
I hope the Council will now get their acts together and petitions will FULLY be responded to more quickly in the future.
