Number of signatures required on a petition for a referendum on whether the Borough should change to a different form of governance.
The Borough Council is required, by the Local Authorities (Referendums) (Petitions and Directions) (England) Regulations 2011, to publish the minimum number of signatures which would be needed to support a valid petition requiring the Council to hold a referendum on whether or not the Borough should change to a different form of governance.
The minimum number of signatures (equivalent to 5% of the Borough's local government electorate) is 3,168.
The above number will apply to any petition submitted to the Borough Council before 1 April 2020. However, a new number will be published in February 2020 and if the new number is less than 3,168, then the new number will apply from the date it is published.
