Colston statue should stay in a museum decide people of Bristol

The statue of Edward Colston should stay in a museum and be on public display to help teach people about Bristol's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade.

That is the verdict of the people of Bristol who took part in a survey that accompanied the statue on display at the M-Shed last year.

Almost 14,000 people - more than half from the City of Bristol itself - took part in the survey, and three-quarters said they wanted to see the statue in a museum. Of those from Bristol, that was percentage was even higher - four in five Bristolians.
