Petition
Give Devon to Cornwall
Rejected
9 signatures
What the petition asks
We urge the UK Government to formally recognize Devon as part of Cornwall as it was apart of Cornwall many years ago and it has historic and cultural ties to Cornwall and it deserves its recognition.
Devon has a past of being apart of Cornwall or better known as Dumnonia in the past, We believe this will also give more potential to both Cornwall and Devon.
