I hope the Government will pay heed to the strength of feeling across West Sussex and my constituency that elections should never be cancelled opportunistically under the guise of local government reorganisation. It leads to the disenfranchisement of voters and further erodes trust in politics and politicians.
Following is the full text of the petition:
[The petition of residents of the United Kingdom,
Declares that the County Council elections meant to take place in May 2025 should not be postponed indefinitely.
The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to ensure that the County Council Elections in West Sussex take place in May 2025.
And the petitioners remain, etc.]
[P003036]
