Statues in Chesterfield which were reviewed to check for links to slavery will remain in place – but some town street names could be changed.
Chesterfield Borough Council leader, Councillor Tricia Gilby, announced the review last week amid an international campaign to topple all monuments to slave traders.
The calls were sparked by the removal of a statue of slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol during anti-racism protests over the death of George Floyd in America.
