Have your say – weed spraying in Ashefield this year?

In accordance with Westmeath County Council’s Biodiversity Action Plan and specifically to reduce the use of herbicides and pesticides containing glyphosate, Resident’s Associations are advised that the local authority will only spray weeds in estates in the charge of Westmeath County Council if a specific request is received from the Resident’s Association for that estate.

Ashefield Residents Association must confirm if wish to “opt in” for weed spraying with glyphosate based products in 2025.

Therefore, we want to hear from Ashefield residents – we will adopt the majority decision from a poll. Please vote below.

The deadline for your vote is May 26th, 2025

2025 Collections for Estate Common Area Upkeep

Hello residents and friends,

We are collecting annual donations for 2025 to cover the upkeep costs of the common areas of the estate that are the responsibility of all us residents. The bulk of the annual cost is grass cutting for all the estate common green areas.

As with previous years, we try to keep the cost to the absolute minimum. However, due to increasing costs and dwindling reserves as you can see for yourself in our published accounts, the 2025 contribution per household has been increased to €30.

The accounts summary for the residents association is published on this site for transparency and visibility. We wish to thank everyone who can contribute to the upkeep of the estate common areas.

You can click the button below to contribute securely using Paypal. Please note that an additional €1.50 is added to this to cover the Paypal charge.

Repainted roadmarkings

Have you noticed the newly redrawn traffic markings in the estate yet? They are hard to miss and should alleviate a longstanding safety problem as they gradually disappeared over the last 20+ years. This issue was raised by Ashefield residents association with Ken Glynn who delivered on it for us. Many thanks to him for staying on it and seeing it through to a successful outcome.
