The contact details of the petition organiser will not be placed on the Council’s website. If the petition does not identify a petition organiser, we will contact signatories to the petition to agree who should act as the petition organiser.

Whilst the Council receives petitions submitted online via third-party websites, it does not take responsibility about how those third parties manage your personal data, and we advise you to read their privacy statement.

Once the Council receives a petition online via a third party, it will not publish contact details or names of petitioners. Only details of how many signatures achieved will be published.

Please be aware that WDC meetings are broadcast live on YouTube and are also being recorded on the Council’s YouTube Channel. These will include a video recording of you presenting your petition, should you do so at a Council meeting. We recommend that you avoid including any personal data in your speech. The petition title and the name of the lead petitioner presenting the petition will be published in the minutes of the meeting.

For information on how the recordings are stored and the duration of their retention, please visit the Council’s website.
