Read MoreCouncillor who hid black head figure 'defused situation'published at 15:30 British Summer Time 1 October 2020
Eddie Bisknell
Local Democracy ReporterA councillor who hid Ashbourne's controversial black head sculpture at his home "undertook the role of community leader" and "defused" a "volatile" situation, an investigation has found.
An independent report commissioned by Derbyshire Dales District Council said the head was given to Conservative councillor Stuart Lees after it was removed by members of a crowd on 8 June. He had it until 11 June, before it was taken to Derbyshire Record Office in Matlock.
A petition by campaigners who wanted the figure removed - calling it "racist" - was started on 5 June amid protests following the death of George Floyd in the US.
Image source, ReutersOn 8 June, the council announced its intention to remove the head the following day, although the investigation "found no evidence of any direct threat from anyone to remove the head or threats of vandalism".
However, before this could happen, a crowd of 100 to 150 people gathered in the town on that evening to "save it" and it was removed.
The report concluded the councillors involved "acted responsively, responsibly and reasonably in the prevailing circumstances".
It said Mr Lees "undertook the role of community leader in facilitating liaison between the crowd and the council's leadership" and "in doing so, a volatile situation was defused and an acceptable solution agreed".
It says the role Mr Lees "performed admirably on the night was an entirely correct one in the context of the roles of councillors set out in the council's constitution".
