Edward Colston
Bristol mayor says decision was not about Reid but "about taking down a statue of a London-based artist who came and put it up without permission".
The decision follows the toppling of a statue of Edward Colston by anti-racist protesters in Bristol.
The controversial memorial to Edward Colston has stood since 1895.
