Rejected

What the petition asks
Many airports have honoured local cultural icons by naming airports - John Lennon Airport in Liverpool, Pablo Picasso Airport in Malaga to name but two. In the light of the death of Manchester's greatest cultural icon, we call upon Manchester Airport to be renamed after Mark E Smith of The Fall.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
