What the petition asks
The UK government wants to name the Severn bridge "prince of wales" after Charles Windsor rather than a figure that has fought for Wales and made a real difference in our Coutrey. Lets send a clear and strong message - We DON'T want his name on the bridge.
There are so many people in Wales that have done a real difference and left their mark on our Nation, such as Owain Glyndwr,The Princess Gwenllian, Aneurin Bevan, Kate Roberts, Gwynfor Evans, and much more. So many to choose from rather than a person that is the representation of colonialism in Wales. Change the name, change the mindset!
