How many people in Grantham have ever made a trip somewhere where the main objective is to look at a statue?
Thought not.
I won’t express personal political preferences here, they are not relevant.
Would not money raised be better spent in a reflective, thorough and balanced look at her achievements in an extensive exhibition at the museum? Make it worth a trip to see, for all.
Another “tribute” could be a foundation in her name, tofurther business for example. There are enough empty units in retail outlets to house one.
All this bickering about a statue - it’s laughable.
