Do not remove Lord Baden-Powell's statue from Poole and instead protect it.
Lord Baden-Powell is most famous for founding the scouting movement. This has contributed in a positive way to millions of children, worldwide, of every race, colour and religion for over 100 years. We want the government to ensure that it is not removed and is instead protected.
Please sign this petition so that the government have to debate the statues removal in parliament. They have the power to ensure that it is not removed and protected,
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about individual historical monuments, statues, plaques and street names are a matter for the local authority in which they are located and private landowners, not the UK Government or Parliament.
If you want to raise concerns about a particular historical monument or statue you should contact your local authority about this.
The Local Government Association has published an advice note to help councils work to ensure all sections of the community feel heard by decision-makers and each other: www.local.gov.uk/topics/community-safety/statues
