    I would have left the statue up, but had a televised event where everyone was included and put up a huge permanent sign next to it explaining the history of the man.....including highlighting his role in the salve trade. 

    A new plaque was dicussed at council meetings in Bristol to be fiited to the statue including the amont if slaves transported 84000 and that including 9000 children who died on route.

    The decision was not upheld by the council Tory coucillors supported by the Merchant Venturers voted it down. This was not so long ago the problem of colstons statue and naming if buildings and roads in brustol has been ongoing for a number of years.
