Stop the relocation of the Royal Photography Society's collection from Bradford.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

We must do everything possible to ensure that the Royal Photography Society's collection remains at the National Media Museum in Bradford. If this collection were to be removed to the V&A this would be terrible and be a cultural travisty for Bradford and the North of England.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This decision is the responsibility of the Science Museum Group, which is operationally independent.
