Updates – tree pruning, roadsweeper, and fly-tipping

Following initial tree-pruning work by Westmeath Co. Co., which focused on lower branches only, they have told us that the branches obstructing lights will be pruned before the end of February 2018.

A request for a roadsweeper to visit the estate to clear storm-related debris on the roads was passed to the council. Please let us know if you spot it in the coming days – if not, we will follow-up.

Yet another fly-tipping incident in the laneway connecting Ashefield and Abbeylands occurred. This was reported to the council who are investigating. If you happen to spot further incidents, the fastest method to report it to the council directly:

Many thanks to Cllr. Ken Glynn for his time and effort ensuring these issues are being addressed.

Roadsweeper in Ashefield

Folks,

Westmeath Co. Co. sent their roadsweeper into the estate today and cleaned the road edges. This was most welcome because there was a significant increase in debris over the past couple of months. Many thanks to the residents who raised this issue and to Cllr. Ken Glynn for working with Westmeath Co. Co. on our behalf to ensure it paid us a visit.
