There is a long-established tradition of members of the public posting or personally delivering petitions to the door of No.10 Downing Street. The e-Petitions service has been designed to offer a modern parallel, which is more convenient for the petitioner. Unlike paper based petitions, this new service also provides an opportunity for No.10 to respond to petitioners via email. You can both create and sign petitions on this website, providing the opportunity to potentially reach a wider audience.

Since its launch in November 2006, the e-Petitions site has proved to be a highly popular innovation in the way that people communicate with government and with the Prime Minister's Office in particular.
