CAHC was launched to save this collection and to establish a more permanent museum in Cornwall. When they took over the collection in 2015, they could only get a lease for a limited time. So yes, they were aware of the looming deadline but they have also presented a number of plans to keep the museum in Cornwall, many of which have been ignored by the council.
But discounting all the history, the facts are that we have an established and running museum with a large collection, surely the council understands that you cannot throw them out within a week? There were meetings planned for the 13th to discuss storing parts of the museum collection temporarily, all of a sudden they need to be out by the 11th... and this is the same council they're talking to. That's the bit that's puzzling if you ask me.
They've had more than a week, and you know that as you've made multiple postings on the other thread.
