Petitions need to call on the Government to take a specific action, and it's not clear exactly what you want the Government to do. We could accept a petition calling for central Government departments and Parliament, which is what normally determines which city is regarded as a country's capital, to Chester, if that is what you want to happen.

Background
Chester is rich with heritage and a worthy candidate to be a capital city. If it were to happen it would boost the economy of the north as a result.
