Hello residents and friends,
We are collecting annual donations for 2024 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, the 2024 contribution per household has been increased to €25.
The accounts summary for the residents association is published on this site for transparency and visibility.
The 2023 annual general meeting of Ashefield Residents Association will be held on Wednesday 12 July. This meeting will be online via the Zoom platform and begins at 8pm. All residents and homeowners in Ashefield are invited to attend and contribute.
We will include the Zoom meeting details here when available

This collapsing drain has been reported to the council. Hopefully we’ll see some action being taken soon to resolve the issue.
Hello Residents and friends. Here is the the statement of accounts for Ashefield Residents Association for 2022
Ashefield Residents Association AGM will be held on July 14th at 8pm via Zoom. We will post further details & agenda closer to the date. Also, many thanks to all that have contributed to this year’s common area upkeep fund so far. The amount is €20 per household. You can donate on this website via the secure Paypal link.
Westmeath Co. Co. is planning a 22 housing unit development in the area between Ashefield and St. Bridget’s Terrace. An access point to this is proposed from within Ashefield. A group of residents is planning to raise concerns with local representatives about this. A gathering is planned for 7pm tonight (Tues 31 May) at the proposed access point within the estate.
The deadline for submissions and observations is 4pm on Tues July 5th. Residents and other interested parties are encouraged to have their voices heard on this. You can submit your observations and comments to Westmeath Co. Co. consultation portal
We hope you and all your family are healthy and are staying safe. As always, thank you for your support in 2020. A special thanks to those that have already paid their 2021 contributions both via PayPal or by giving directly to a committee member.
Donations collected annually from residents and landlords directly support the upkeep of common areas in the estate. The main expense incurred is the grass cutting in the common green areas
We will gratefully accept any contribution people can make so that we can continue the work of keeping the grass cut in the common green areas. In 2020 and previous years, we requested €20 per house and indeed some people have again paid this amount already this year. I am sure you will agree that having these green areas available for the children to play in has been a big help in recent times.
Cutting the grass in the common area and other minor expenses cost approximately €1,380 in 2020; the accounts for 2020 are available below for your review.
Contributions may be made securely via the PayPal link on this website or directly to any committee member.
Thanks once again for your support in 2020. We will follow up regarding plans for an AGM in 2021.
Kind Regards
Joe Gettings -Chairperson Ashefield Residents Association
Dear residents, a 98-home development planning application adjacent to Ashefield includes a proposed pedestrian link into Ashefield. The proposed pedestrian link would be closest to #76 and facing the line of homes from #64 upwards. Given our long history of dumping and anti-social issues with pedestrian walkways between estates, not to mention a potential loss of privacy, and noise & disturbance resulting from its use, you may want to consider having your say in the planning process via a submission or observation to Westmeath County Council. Contact planning@westmeathcoco.ie if you need further information/help.
In addition to individual submissions, please note that Ashefield Residents Association has provided a submission regarding the application. Thanks to everyone who provided input for this.
