Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL]

We have one amendment in this group—Amendment 106—and it is very simple. I think that we have already raised the issue of a petition organiser monopolising a petition. Rather than revolving around one person, a petition should involve a group of people who want a grievance or problem to be resolved. Rather than a letter of acknowledgement, we would prefer to see a simpler form of communication acknowledging the petition. Therefore, we are opposed to the possibility of one person promoting something rather than it being a genuine petition.
