In some cases they want them put in museums instead, other people want them kept but with the additional context and fewer people support the removal of Nelson than Colston. One of the ideas for the colston statue now is that they kept the plinth it was on and the part of it that broke off on the floor, so there is a still a landmark to explain who he was and why it's gone.
