What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to introduce new legislation or amend existing legislation in order to:
1) require all local authorities in Scotland to adopt, within a specified timeframe, a set of minimum standards for public participation processes (questions, deputations, petitions) that ensure such processes are accessible, transparent, fair, inclusive and consistent across Scotland;
2) designate a new or existing body to oversee and monitor compliance with such standards and either take or recommend action when these are not met.
