Thousands of people have taken part in the University of Bristol’s ‘listening exercise’ as Uni chiefs decide whether or not to rename seven of its buildings that are linked with the transatlantic slave trade.
The consultation was announced last November, and should have finished by now, but Bristol University has decided to extend its consultation until the end of January, and even hold a couple of physical events to give more people the chance to have their say on the controversial issue.
The events are being arranged next week and are open to any local residents, staff or students to learn more about what the university is considering, ask questions and give their opinions.
