Rejected petition Give Devon to Cornwall

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.

More details

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.
