    "
    CAMPAIGNERS will need as few as 250 signatures to ensure they get a hearing at the city council under a new petitions system.

    Funding, local transport issues and the staging of events are likely to be at the heart of motions submitted for consideration later this year.

    "
    Bids from groups and individuals aiming to influence issues already on the council agenda will be urged to attend committees and speak to elected members directly rather than go through the petitions process.

    Oh goodness sake. Why bother, they ignore their own consultations, the Govt e-petitions site is full of morons and even when something reasonable and well supported arrives its ignored...

    It's all about 'participation'. Even if nothing changes at the end of a round of consultations, petitions and attending meetings at least they can say they took part in the process.
