Apparently you have to be British (hah!) to sign the petition.
However, if you go to the website below, you should be able to
contact the "Department of Culture, Media and Sport", which should be
the relevant Government Department.

Sorry for the confusion.
"OK, not many of you have heard of the Textile Conservation Centre in
Winchester; but if you're museum staff, or costume historians, or
otherwise have any serious interest in the preservation of some of
the most fragile of our historic artefacts, and if you support the
training of world-class conservators to do more of the same
elsewhere, then please go to:
<http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/TCCCclosure>http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/TCCclosure
and sign up!
Otherwise it will be closed by the 'if it doesn't make a profit it
can't be important' mentality that has screwed up so many worthwhile
things of late. "
From another list I'm on - please sign if you agree with the
petition - too many places like this in England are being
closed/destroyed. I am sure international pressure will help.
