This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government to take a specific action, and it's not clear exactly what you want the Government to do.

We could accept a petition calling for central Government departments and Parliament, which is what normally determines which city is regarded as a country's capital, to Chester, if that is what you want to happen.
