REMOVE ALL STATUES OF THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SLAVE TRADE IN THE UK

We want all of the statues of slave traders and those associated with colonisation removed.

Examine all statues across the United Kingdom for links to slavery and plantation owners.

Remove them and put them in a museum to educate people about the past. Not celebrate it.

Decisions about individual historical monuments, statues, plaques and street names are a matter for the local authority in which they are located and private landowners, not the UK Government or Parliament.

If you want to raise concerns about a particular historical monument or statue you should contact your local authority about this.

The Local Government Association has published an advice note to help councils work to ensure all sections of the community feel heard by decision-makers and each other: https://www.local.gov.uk/topics/community-safety/statues

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
