An online Assembly petition has been launched with the aim of persuading the Welsh Government to rename its newly acquired (Cardiff Wales) Airport as the Robert Owen International Airport.
The petition, started by Justin Lilley of Positive Money, is available to sign until December 21st at:- https://www.assemblywales.org/epetition-list-of-signatories_all.htm?pet_id=923
Newtown born Robert Owen was in many ways the originator of the co-op movement in Wales, and in the year that the Welsh Government’s Commision on Co-operatives and Mutuals is due to report, Justin believes recognising Robert Owen in this way would be an appropriate way to mark this major policy initiative.
