It has been put forward that we remove or change the text of our "Little White Town" from our signs, are you for this action or against it - and why?....PLEASE SHARE!!
I am against this because true democratic representation would come as a result of a public vote on the issue. This feels like a “back room” debate that has been given far too much weight in my opinion. Have the black or Asian community been represented on this issue? Absolutely not. And to be honest, it should never have been bought to the table in the first place!
This is a name the town was described as by charles kingsley, it is part of the towns history and does not need any further explanation. If people think this is racist then im sorry but where will it all end?
I am against this as there are no racial issues unless one is made, this is political correctness taken way to far, leave them as they are with no compromise!
Was it named "The little white town" because it represented the people living there? NO! So leave it alone.
Bideford is part of my Birth Right. My Family go back many Years. Leave the Little White Town as it is. We are too quick to listen to those who have no connection to this Country. My Culture is Priority to anything or anyone else. Leave as they are.
