Rename Festival Square "Mandela Square" - Petitions (Closed)

Petition details

Nelson Mandela's death was a tragedy, but his life was a reminder to all to relentlessly speak out against and stand up to racism and inequality in all its forms.
When Festival Square was originally built, a proposal to name it after Mandela was sadly and shamefully voted down - now is the time to give it the name it always should've had.
