Petitions
Petitions are one way that residents of Moray can let the council know their concerns.
Issues we will consider
Your petition should be about the services we provide or issues we are involved in that affect your community. You should clearly explain the purpose of the petition and what result you expect to achieve. If your issue is a comment or a complaint you should use our complaints process rather than a petition.
