Is putting it back up a voting option for the good citizens of Bristol, or is that foreclosed in advance? My preference would be to put it back up and stick a plaque next to it with an account of why its was put up, why its was thought to be ok at the time and by whom, and why it is thought to be utterly dodgy today. Don't spare the details on the latter. Oh, and leave space for future revisions.
I'm not for tearing statues down and changing street/town names as a rule. OK if it's Hitler in the middle of Warsaw and you've kicked out the Germans two weeks ago. But old stuff that's become part of the urban furniture? Slow down the cleaning cycle and let the pigeons do their work.
