Glasgow will not “rush” into any steps to change street names linked to slavery a new report has stated.
Following the Black Lives Matter protests, including in Glasgow, a cross-party working group was set up to discuss how to address the city’s past and its association with the slave trade.
Instead of moving to change the names of prominent streets like Buchanan Street, Glassford Street and Ingram Street, the group said it recognised efforts to promote education about the slave trade and tackle racism towards black and minority ethnic citizens today should take priority.
