Hot on the heels of the Total Place nonsense the Communities and Local Government Department has delivered a dollop of tripe on petitioning. The new measures will add to councils' costs for no tangible benefits.
There are plenty of opportunities for people to complain about services and this latest wheeze does little of significance to add to them. The claim by the Department that the petitioning process has real teeth set to bite is a bad joke - more like hens teeth. After Total Place we now have Total Tripe.
Let's be clear: the process is not user friendly for hard to reach communities.
Details can be found on the Department's website . For the anorak, the statutory guidance can be read here
