The consequences for researchers in Taunton will I'm sure be at the forefront of the Trustees' minds when they are appointed. However it can be said that because Bath is a separate unitary local authority, which at this time is not joining the Trust, the Trust will have no impact in that area.

Does the proposed trust cover both Taunton and Bath Record Offices, or is one under threat if this goes through? Thanks and Regards Peter
