Decision to set aside £100,000 for ceremony to unveil Margaret Thatcher statue will be reviewed

South Kesteven District councillors will have to reconsider their plan to underwrite a £100k launch event for a 10ft statue of former PM Margaret Thatcher in the centre of Grantham.
Independent Councillor Ashley Baxter requested the call-in for the scrutiny committee, which could reverse the controversial decision by the Conservative leadership.
Coun Baxter said: “The decision has been taken entirely by local members of the Conservative party without even a proper opportunity for discussion, let alone a vote.”
The statue was going to be in London - but will now stand in Grantham (43324824)
“There is no clear outline business plan explaining how third-party funding will be acquired, let alone why the council has somehow taken on responsibility for the fundraising.”
