Rejected petition Stop all work on Thatchers statue, it is a disgrace of waste public money
I know there is a hold up on the current statue of Baroness Thatcher. The whole idea should be scrapped it is a disgarce to waste money on such a project when we have so many people in poverty and living on the streets.
More details
Thatcher statue design for Parliament Square not 'right', say Councillors.
Plans for a statue of Margaret Thatcher in Parliament Square have been rejected over its design and lack of approval from her family.
A 1.5-times life-size bronze statue of Margaret Thatcher had been proposed for the site.
The square already contains several statues of former prime ministers, including Winston Churchill, David Lloyd George and Sir Robert Peel.
