PLANS to erect a statue of reviled ex-prime minister Margaret Thatcher in London’s Parliament Square look set to be shelved over concerns of vandalism.
The proposal for the statue came from the charity the Public Memorials Appeal Trust, whose patron is the Duke of Wellington, but Westminster Council has been advised against the idea.
An original plan for a memorial was blocked in July over fears it would be attacked.
