Well done Hornsey Town Hall Appreciation Society - whose petition has been accepted, thereby triggering a debate on the proposed sale of Hornsey Town Hall.

Presentation of Petition to the Council Meeting

Monday 23 November 2015 - 7.30pm

 

I am acknowledging receipt of the petition received at this office at 9.30am on 13 November 2015 from you in person, together with the i. Petition sent by link to this office on the evening on 12 November 2015.

 

I am writing to advise that following verification of the number of signatures/duplications on both the electronic and hard copy – the number of signatures totalled 2261 – and as that figure exceeds 2200, therefore the petition will be debated at the Full Council meeting on Monday 23 November 2015.

 

In accordance with the Council’s procedure for petitions in excess of 2200 signatures, the process for a debate at  Full Council will be as follows:

 

i.              The Mayor will formally announce the receipt of the petition and advise that in accordance with the rules of procedures for petitions of 2200 or more this triggers a formal debate by the Council.

 

ii.             The Mayor will invite the lead petitioner or named representative to give a brief presentation to the meeting.  This will be for no more than 5 minutes.

 

iii.            Members may then ask questions of the petitioners

 

v.         An open debate of the petition for a maximum of 15 minutes by Members of the Council – there is no public participation during the debate.

 

vi.            The Cabinet Member for Housing & Regeneration (or in their absence a nominated Cabinet Member), will state how the Council intends to respond.

 

Please find attached details of the Council’s Standing Order in respect of deputations and petitions. The petitioners should not exceed 6 in number in the main body of the Council Chamber, although others are welcome to sit in the public gallery.

 

The meeting starts at 7.30 pm on Monday 23 November 2015 at the Civic Centre, Wood Green. It would be useful if you could arrive 30 minutes before hand. Please go to the reception at the Civic Centre and the reception staff will ensure that you gain access to the meeting and introduce you to my staff, who will seat you.

 

Please call me if I can be of further assistance.

 

Yours sincerely
