That route was thoroughly followed but totally Fudged by the previous Regional Director after months of pontificating, maybe he could brief the new Regional Director as to ALL the history, including the summary dismissal at the time of the co- RO!
Forget the previous RD, the new one is the person who should sort this out. Put a request in to him, and he's duty-bound to deal with it quickly. Especially in a Region as prominent as London.
If you don't get a satisfactory result there, then put in an open letter to all the board demanding that they address your concerns at the next board meeting, and that they give you the results of that discussion immediately.
If that fails, get a new board! [

] Joking aside, I feel it would be very odd for them to disagree that a few helpers are needed with the RO being a one-man-band, and now having Board duties as well. With a few good people offering to step up and help it's a no-brainer, surely?
