Renfrewshire Leads the Way for Public Petitions |
|
Tuesday, 25 May 2010 |
|
 Last week at the Scottish Parliament’s Public Petitions Committee, Renfrewshire Council was commended on the way that a local petitioning scheme was set up for communities throughout the area. The SNP-led administration set up the scheme three years ago, and was the first council to set up such a scheme.
Speaking after the meeting of the Parliamentary Petitions Committee, Bill Wilson MSP, said: “The aim of local petitioning committees is to strengthen the link between elected officials and communities, allowing their priorities and ideas to be directly put to officials. Renfrewshire Council led the way in launching their own scheme, decentralising power to the local community. So far only three councils have created petitioning schemes, East Lothian, Stirling and Renfrewshire. |
