Drain issue

This collapsing drain has been reported to the council. Hopefully we’ll see some action being taken soon to resolve the issue.

We are collecting annual donations for 2023 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. The accounts summary for the residents association is published on this site for transparency and visibility.

The suggested donation per household is €20 – unchanged from previous years despite the rapid rises in living & energy costs.

We can accept payment securely via Paypal or in person to a committee member. Please note that Paypal deducts a charge from the donation and this amount has increased. We have been forced to add a €1.50 handling charge per donation to cover that. Click the ‘Buy Now’ button to donate.

Thanks again for all your support from Ashefield Residents Association

Tree pruning in Ashefield

Hello all, the trees in Ashefield are on Westmeath County Council’s schedule for inspection, and where necessary, pruning. This work is expected to make a huge difference to areas in almost complete darkness due to streetlamps totally blocked by overgrown trees. Thanks to Cllr. Ken Glynn for the representation at council level about this.

More fly-tipping reported

More fly-tipping was reported in the laneway connecting Abbeylands and Ashefield. This extended into the common green area in Ashefield. This case was reported to Westmeath County Council. We encourage you to contact the Environment Department in the council directly if you spot further fly-tipping to help ensure a speedy response.
