Remove the boarding that Covers Winston Churchill's Monument
Remove the boarding that covers Winston Churchill's statue and protect the monument like he protected us.
Winston Churchill deserves to be seen. He guided this country to victory in a world war. For that he is a hero. If he has said anything that offends people then that does not diminish this achievement and it can be learnt from not hidden away. for those that don't like Winston Churchill you are free to point to his monument and teach your children about him whether your opinion is good or bad that is what is called free will that you wouldn't have without him. This man is a massive part of our history and should not be covered up under the pretence of protection rather than its real purpose to appease protestors

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
