You, and many others with concerns,(how about the members who live on Crow's Nest Lane?) will be able to address those concerns within the referendum process

As you know, the referendum, if one is needed, will not be on the fire department but on the rehab of the Community Hall.

Consider the possibility that the referendum might be rejected if enough people oppose the loss of the area in White Horse Park. What's that old axiom? For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Or, the Law of Unintended Consequences.
