Bristol's main music venue has had the name of slave trader Edward Colston removed from it as the city reacts to BlackLivesMatter protests. Read more on this story:
"We were about to go into the final phase of consultation just before lockdown, so we put that aside to deal with organisational survival, putting music lessons online, and now we've picked this up again."
"The hall was built 150 years after Colston's death and not founded with any of his money. We cannot continue to be a monument to his memory." There is also a Colston Girls' School just over a mile away from the hall, two other schools named after the slave trader, as well as a Colston Yard and Colston Avenue.
