In this case each sheet of signatures should be scanned in full as an exact replica of the original copy.

e-Petitions

E-Petitions may be submitted:
  • through the council's e-Petitions facility.
  • via an independent online e-Petition system and not via the council's facility.
    • However a link to the external e-Petition must be sent electronically to petitions@kirklees.gov.uk.
    • In this case the petition organiser must ensure that the petition meets the submissions criteria set out in this scheme - including, for example, a valid email address (one email address per person) and a postcode for each person supporting the petition to enable the council to verify signatures to the petition.
The council will allow a combined paper and e-Petition providing there are no duplicate signatories and the date of receipt is when the final submission is made.

Further details about submitting e-Petitions will be published in the coming months when the council has established an appropriate facility.
