Rejected petition Shakespeare's Column

More details

I would like to propose that a statue of William Shakespeare stands atop of what is now Nelson's Column. Alternatively, I propose that a column of equal size and grandeur is constructed in Trafalgar Square, to reflect that Britain has a literary tradition and figurehead that should be the nation's pride and joy and one who bestrides the world with his nourishing words.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Trafalgar Square is the responsibility of the Greater London Authority (GLA).

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
