Was it not a minority group at the Area Council Meeting that decided, on behalf of the local residents, to rebuild the bandstand?
Most meetings are after all, attended by a minority of the local residents.
Are you a member of the Friends of Oakhill Park?
If so many of you are so interested in the park why are you all not members of the Friends? That way you can have your say and vote on such matters without having to go over the groups head.
In fact if so many of you don't like the way the friends are acting on your behalf then thats simple as well, at the next Annual General Meeting of the group put yourself and friends forward as committee members and make sure you have enough followers to vote for you. Then you will be in control of the friends group. Problem solved. Or would that require too much of your time and effort?
oops, maybe thats just my cynical side showing through again
