Finance Comments: For the taxidermy disposals, the Trust obtained a quote from a specialist contractor. The proposal covers the removal and incineration of the collection, the hire of an air filtration/dust extraction system, and a thorough deep clean of the area to eliminate any disturbed dust. The cost of £6,250 is being funded from a one-off growth item approved within the Cultural Support Services budget.
