On 13 October 2020, you declared City Hall ‘a committedly anti-racist organisation’ 1.

Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm (5)

  • Reference: 2020/4071
  • Question by: Peter Whittle
  • Meeting date: 19 November 2020
In your press release of 28 July 2020 you state: ‘The Mayor is creating the Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm to help ensure London’s achievements and diversity are suitably reflected. Statues, plaques and street names largely reflect Victorian Britain…’ As a statement of fact, it is demonstrably untrue that London’s statues, plaques and street names largely reflect Victorian Britain, a period of only 60 years. London has a well-documented commemorative and location-naming timeline of at least a thousand years, which also stretches long beyond the Victorian era. Why would you suggest otherwise?
