In order to avoid the confusion that may arise from providing only a summary of his correspondence; viz. yesterday’s now deleted comment that Bexley Labour had not been particularly helpful to him, @tonyofsidcup has sent me several PDF files relating to his seven month struggle to get a straight answer on the rules relating to 2000+ signature Petitions from the slithering nest of vipers who make up Bexley Council’s legal team.

As the extract below makes clear, they can do what they like. There are no criteria. They make something up, as required, to ensure that every Petition is rejected, as every large one has been.
No rules
For the record, @tony says that Labour doesn’t advocate Petitions for exactly the reasons outlined above. “What is the point if they bury it?” (@tony’s summary again.)
