This petition was submitted during the 2020-2024 Conservative government

Rejected petition Ask the Lands End Local authority to preserve the famous signpost at Lands End.

The local authority in Lands End plan to remove the famous Lands End to John O'Groats signpost in January 2024. They do not intend to renew the contract with the company who has maintained it for years.

More details

The signpost in Lands End has been a much loved national and cultural landmark for many years. It should therefore be preserved. Not everything should be governed by money. Some things are worth preserving.
