Open three days instead of five, which more than halves what is possible
What has changed
Open Tuesday to Thursday only from January. Staffing reduced by four posts and the conservation studio closed entirely.
The practical effect
Appointment waits have gone from four weeks to eleven. Document production is now next-day rather than same-day, so a visit does half as much.
What can be done
The consultation closes on the fourteenth and has had ninety responses. Numbers matter more than eloquence in these and ninety is very few.
