Keep Northern Museums Open
The Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester, the National Railway Museum in York and the National Media Museum in Bradford are under threat of closure and reduced government funding.
I am petitioning Government to prevent great museums, which provide education and tourism within the regions, closing over a sum of up to £6 million. We have just invested £16 million in sending Major Tom Peake in to space to support the sciences in this country.
I would like the Government to guarantee that funding for these three establishments will adequately meet their needs and therefore allow them all to remain open and free of charge.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
