We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee

Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Require letters from local authorities about fines/debts be sent "signed for"

Too many final demand letters for fines and debts, such as for traffic infringements, are reaching the recipient without any of the previous letters being received. In some cases a simple fine has escalated, unbeknownst to the motorist, to bailiffs.

More details

Requiring that all correspondence from local authorities regarding fines and debts to be sent "signed for", would ensure that people become aware of these at the first instance, and are able to pay these or challenge these before the matter is escalated.
