A stone plinth was craned into place this morning (Thursday), the base for the statue of former Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher.
A bronze statue of the Grantham-born first female Prime Minister will stand on the green in St Peter's Hill, in between those of Frederick Tollemache and Sir Isaac Newton.
The date of the erection of the statue itself has not yet been revealed.
Landscaping work around the plinth will continue throughout March.
The decision to erect the statue, paid for by The Public Memorials Trust and delivered by the GCHA Margaret Thatcher Appeal.
