Dorset Council operates a Petitions Scheme that enables residents to submit petitions to us about issues in their local area.

We accept petitions in paper format or via online petition apps like Change.org. See full details of how the Petition Scheme works.

For advice and support email the Democratic Services Team.

We do not currently have an on-line e-petitions facility and all information and correspondence relating to petitions are sent to the Lead Petitioner.

In response to a request, details of a petition relating to Highway Issues, submitted by the residents of Mountbatten Drive, Ferndown, Dorset BH22, and the response of the Head of Highways, is set out in the documents below:
