During a lengthy and often heated meeting of the full Plymouth City Council on Monday evening, the thorny issue of Sir John Hawkins Square was brought up.
Cllr Chaz Singh pointed out that the council had seen "the fiasco" of the Sir John Hawkins Square sign removal under the Labour administration issue and congratulated Cllr Nick Kelly for his proposal last week that an unnamed road that runs past Home Park football stadium should bear the name Jack Leslie Way - after the city's pioneering black footballer.
This appeared to usurp the previous administration's plan to rename Sir John Hawkins Square, beside Plymouth Magistrates' Court, as Jack Leslie Square. In June 2020, the council said it had agreed to change the name of the square following the tearing down of a statue of slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol by anti-racism protestors.
At the time, the then leader of the council, Tudor Evans, said that, while the city could not change its history - nor should it seek to - it should address some of the more controversial parts of its history.
