Is now the time to rename Havelock Road in Hastings?

May I suggest that Havelock Road, Hastings be re-named?

Henry Havelock was a 19th century British army general who was involved in the suppression of the so-called “Indian Mutiny” of 1857-58.

How about re-naming the road “Nehru Road”, after the first Prime Minister of independent India?
