Many thanks to Cllr. Ken Glynn and Westmeath Co. Co. who, with Ashefield Residents Association, recently re-visited the overgrown green area adjacent to the C-link road/Western ByPass and came up with a plan of action. You may already have noticed a dramatic improvement: Westmeath Co. Co. have followed up and cut the overgrown area down to a more manageable state. As you can see from the photos, it is a large area and it will require regular cutting and additional financial support in order to prevent it from lapsing into an overgrown state again in the future.
We would like to hear from you about your thoughts for a long term management plan for this area – especially from residents in the immediate area who expressed their concerns during the recent collection activities. Please feel free to comment below or contact the residents association by email [ info AT ashefield.com ].
