Wise to have statue moved (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

astute

'wise' is the definition.
(astute means wise or shrewd)

'statue moved' is the wordplay.
'moved' is an anagram indicator.
'statue' with letters rearranged gives 'ASTUTE'.

'to have' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for astute that I've seen before include "Shrewd and sagacious" , "Percipient" , "Sharp-witted" , "Having hardheaded intelligence" , "'Perceptive, shrewd (6)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
