Edward Colston statue exhibition and survey

Archived
Engagement about what should happen next to the Edward Colston statue.

We asked

The display of the Edward Colston statue in M Shed was a temporary measure to start a conversation with the city. A survey formulated by the We Are Bristol History Commission was the focus of the display which asked citizens what should happen to the statue next.

You said

On 3 February 2022, the We Are Bristol History Commission issued a report on the results of the survey alongside 6 recommendations for the future based on the views expressed by local people.
