Plans to erect a statue of Margaret Thatcher in her home town of Grantham have been unanimously approved by South Kesteven District Council.
The Conservative-led council announced that it will underwrite an unveiling ceremony of the statue to the tune of £100,000.
The council agreed to fund the event but said they “fully expected” that the expense will be recouped in donations, while critics have described the cost of the ceremony as an “insult” to struggling local residents.
We’d like to hear from local residents in the South Kesteven area how they feel about this proposal.
