PETITION to the PM for MORE allotments
« on: January 01, 2007, 15:41:47 »
Hi guys,

Here is a link to a petition set up by a lady who has a plot on a site where half of the site was taken over by a neighbouring golf course! I'd like to see it as the petition with the most signatures by it's deadline, which is early May.

Hope you will all take a look and put your names to it:

Thanks guys

Great to hear that you have signed up so quickly
Thought I'd just add that maybe admin might want to make this a 'sticky' until the deadline date on May 20th

Done, A subject close to my heart and under my fingenails
... I am warmed by winter sun and by the light in your eyes.
I am refreshed by the rain and the dew
And by thoughts of you...

Why is email and postal address required?

ditto
want to sign but dont want the SPAM etc - this could just be way away of harvesting emails / data
looks like anyone can set up an "online petition"

The site itself (a government site) emails you to verify your signature - your name doesn't appear until you verify. They need address to show you're a UK citizen or resident, I believe a handwritten petition also needs that though I could be wrong. All the 'real world' petitions I've signed have required city, postcode though.

Done, although I fear that petitions.pm.gov.uk is entirely ignored by the government, like so many other so-called consultations.

So I could just give any old UK address? Or will they check it out?
