What the petition asks
Victoria Wood was a much loved comedian born and raised in Manchester. Her humour was distinctive to the city and she set her TV series 'Dinner Ladies' there. Following her death in 2016, Manchester Victoria railway station was renamed in her honour for an hour. It should be renamed permanently.
