Questions asked over unveiling of Margaret Thatcher statue in Grantham | Updated: 12:49, 04 February 2021 Opposition members at South Kesteven District Council say there are still questions to be answered over a proposed unveiling event costed at £100,000 for a £300,000 Margaret Thatcher statue in Grantham town centre. Independent Councillor Ashley Baxter, who called in a decision by leaders to underwrite the event for £100,000 resulting in it being brought back to cabinet on Tuesday, said he was âdisappointed with a lack of answersâ. Reports revealed estimated costs totalling £109,490, including more than £50,000 on an âexternal events organisationâ, £24,000 on âessential costsâ and £35,000 on further staging and streaming.
