ePetitions - eDemocracy solutions to comply with the Local Democracy Bill
The Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill paves the way for new rights for citizens to have more information and influence over local decisions; new powers to hold politicians to account and, where they choose, more opportunity to get directly involved in managing and shaping how local services are delivered.
One of the enablers to achieving this, and a key requirement under the bill, is the duty for local authorities to provide a facility to the general public for making petitions in electronic form to their local authority.
As market leaders in the provision of consultation software to local councils, we have developed a simple but comprehensive ePetitions solution that will enable you to meet these requirements.
ePetitions enables local councils to comply with the new legislation and provide an ePetitions capability on their website, which allows:
- Local citizens to
- View all available petitions
- Participate in active petitions based upon their interests
- Request and create new petitions
- Local councils to combine off and on-line processes to
- Review and approve petition requests
- Process signatures and comments
- Analyse and respond to petitions
