Well it was a silly idea in the first place,(who on earth thinks these ideas up).Whilst The Slave Trade was awful to say the least,so were many other grizzly things at that time.But we cannot be held responsible for what our fathers or forefathers did.How long must we be made to feel guilty for!.
I wish i had half the problems these Councillors seem to have if this is all they have to worry about.
Have we really got to the stage where there is nothing of major importance for local Councils to do than to allow some dimwit to change the name of some streets because of something that happened way before our time.
Id love to meet these people who are so offended.They are living in another world they really are,are they really so AFFECTED by this.
Perhaps the council will consider offering councelling (at Tax Payers expence)to those affected by this decision.
