councillor who sits on the Cabinet or a committee which is to consider the
matter;
- submit your views on any item contained in the
Cabinet's Forward
plan of decisions;
- ask a question at a
council meeting.

Organise a petition
calling for action on a specific issue and ask a councillor to
present it at a meeting of the council. You will then receive a
response and a right to ask for discussion of the matter at the
relevant Overview and Scrutiny Committee if you are
unhappy with the response.
Ask your councillor to raise a Councillor Call for Action on a
local matter which has not been possible to resolve by other
means.
