Rejected petition Dedication of the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square to Alan Turing
More details
The fourth plinth would be dedicated to Alan Turing and a small plaque added to the base of the plinth. The space on the plinth is then left as a free space, allowing for the continued free expression of ideas.
The plinth's 'air space' for free expression is a fitting memorial to Turing's life and work.
The plinths in Trafalgar Square are dedicated to war heroes and Turing is a unique war hero that saved millions of lives. He also layed the foundations for computer science that changed the world.
