Issue Isambard Kingdom Brunel with an official honour for his role in history.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I.K. Brunel was a big part of British History, without him, much of the British Infrastructure of transport wouldn't have been built and many things in modern life would be different. He was never honoured officially during his life and many feel this is wrong and should be changed.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
