Tameside Blue Plaques

 

Throughout Tameside Blue Plaques commemorate local people and places of historical importance. Artists, poets, botanists and war heroes are amongst those celebrated

Following the tragic death of George Floyd and in light of our support for the ‘Black Lives Matter’ campaign, we have reviewed the borough’s collection of public sculptures and Blue Plaques. Currently there are none that we would propose removing. However our collection is always under review and we are attentive to the public’s views on historical figures who have been celebrated and commemorated.
Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council has also pledged our commitment to further reflection and action to address race inequality issues. For further information see https://www.greatermanchester-ca.gov.uk/news/greater-manchester-statement-on-george-floyd-and-black-lives-matter/
If you have any concerns about the statues or blue and brown plaques in Tameside, please contact events@tameside.gov.uk
