Petitioners usually want to highlight a particular injustice or cause.

What better way to do that than in a newspaper?

It helps our coverage if petitioners talk to us first about their petition.

We can give it more room in the papers and give them much more valuable publicity.

So, if you are planning to petition Tynwald, let us know.

Please include a phone number so one of our reporters can telephone you to find out more.
