BSWN joins the campaign to have the Blackboy Clock removed in Stroud

BSWN are supporting the campaign to have the Blackboy Clock removed from its current position in Stroud. We, along with our colleagues at Campaigners Stroud Against Racism, believe that the statue is based on demeaning imagery of a time gone by when Gloucestershire profited from the Transatlantic Trafficking of Enslaved Africans.

If you wish to support this campaign, we have created an editable version of the letter in Google sheets you can make a copy and use HERE. The more support we can mobilise, the greater our impact.

In addition, if we could also direct you to fill in the survey. There may be questions on the survey that you do not have an answer to, such as the one asking about other local commemorations, but it is fine to leave them blank if that is the case. Please also share the link to the survey with your networks.
