Referendums and petitions 2026

The Local Government Act 2000 requires the Council to publish a notice which sets out the minimum number of signatures which would be needed to support a valid petition requiring the Council to hold a referendum on whether the borough should change to a different form of governance.

This applies to petitions to the Council, submitted between 1 April 2026 and 31 March 2027.
